Hi yochana, for yr method (2), is your ¨dough¨ watery(batter like) or dry (like bread dough)?
ReplyDeletefor method (2), it is not watery nor dry like bread dough. It's thick and you'll have problem sieving it and use a spoon to press it through so that your sweet potato cake will be fine.

Hi Yochana,
ReplyDeleteHow to check that the huat kueh is really cooked after 15 mins?
I used a skewer and have some bits on it so this means nt cooked?
Thanks,
Hui
Hi Hui,
ReplyDeleteAfter 15 mins, the huat kueh should be cooked. If you are worried, then extend for another 3 - 5 mins. depending on the wetness of your kueh.

Hi Aunty,
ReplyDeleteI have tried this receipe. Very happy with the kueh.. smiling nicely @ me when i opened up the wok lid. Heehee.. Thanks for sharing.
Btw, will like to check with you, i find that the fragrance of the kueh is slighty bland. Is there any ways to enhance the fragrance?
Like adding in more sweet potato or pandan leave or coconut milk?
Thanks,
Hui
Hui,
ReplyDeleteYou can substitute the water for coconut milk.

Hi Jen,
ReplyDeleteFor Brownhuat kueh, it's totally a different recipe. I've posted the link in my blog on the huat kueh which belongs to Amy Beh. Perhaps you can go to www.kuali.com.my to search for the recipe.

Hiya Yochana,
ReplyDeletethanks for the help. I carried out a search and managed to find that brown huat kueh. There's so many names of huat kueh in yr blog. hehe. I managed to find the recipe. Very surprised to learn that coconut milk is used. Is it ok to use the packet one or thats just the one we should use? It mentioned Thick Coconut Milk. Thanks!

Yes Jen,
ReplyDeleteYou can use the box coconut milk. In fact, it's better as it doesn't make you cake too oily.

hi aunty i try this recipe to day, but one thing is the method (2) is like bread dough, and not a batter like, instead of throwing them away i add more water into the dough , it work, when i steam the kueh it was smiling and soft :)
ReplyDeleteHi anonymous,
ReplyDeleteThat is what I meant by on the spot instinct and common sense. sometimes the flour could be more dry and sometimes it's more wet so you have to judge yourself.
You did well...congrats.;
