Chut Bee Png 糯米饭 is actually Png Kueh 饭桃 without the pink kueh skin. Some people, usually the Hokkiens, give out Chut Been Png and red eggs during the first month celebration of their new borns. I remembered my ex-colleague, Poi Son, giving us this too for her new born celebration. It was, if I remembered correctly, cooked by her mother and it was delicious. Soft and fluffy!
Ingredients:
- 200g Glutinous Rice

ReplyDeleteTracy,
ReplyDeleteI love this as a kid and I ate so much till I get indigestion! Hahaha
I didn't know the name of this until now. Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks more like 油饭 (you peng, hokkien) leh! My mum's friend used to make this for us - glutinous Rice,dried mushrooms,dried shrimps and lean pork.
ReplyDeleteIs it same as Lo Mae Kay?
ReplyDeleteEast Meets West Kitchen,
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome!
Tigerfish,
This IS 油饭!
Linda,
Not exactly the same. One thing for sure, there is no chicken in here. ;) Lo Mai Kai is usually steamed, wrapped with Lotus Leaf and not dark coloured (not dark soy sauce) Maybe I'll do it once of these day
if i dont have glutinious rice, can i use the normal rice?
ReplyDeleteSomebodyhastobe,
ReplyDeletehmmm ... I'm not too sure abt it.
I'm assuming it's not quite possible bcos:
1. rice grains puff up when cooked. So if you put rice grain in the dough (not possible to add space like rice dumplings), the kueh will turn out of shape.
2. if you do use rice grains, you will nee to have leaves to wrap it to hold it and keep in in shape. Like Ketupat and Rice Dumpling. I'm not sure how the dough will react being squeezed inbetween the leaves and the rice.
3. if you use cooked rice instead, I'm afraid it might turn soggy from steam.
4. then it will not be call chut Bee Png. It will just be Png (kueh) bcos no Chut Bee inside mah. ;)
These are only my assumption. It might just work! Why not experiment it? If you do, let me know the outcome! Have fun!
