How to Make Red Bean Filled Mochi (Ang Ku Kueh)

[jewelyu]

@susiequtie100 she said u can use tin foil

[susiequtie100]

Do you have to use banana leaves

[rhodalle]

This is an awesome video, and I'm totally going to make this!

[valstar1000]

you're pretty

[arbitrarylady]

are you a malaysian living in america?

[luabsuabhlub]

where i can find the red bean?

[PoisonedAsh88]

You sound like you are of Taiwanese decent perhaps?

[jamesngjh]

You should use a mould shaped like a tortoise, otherwise it is not an ang KU kueh. It would at most be called an Ang Kueh, which is what you made.

[yaoifangirl2009]

I love mochi with strawberries inside <3

[oogp]

Asian women sound soo gud when they talk but red food coloring? that's bad ;/

[NgoNicole]

I love ang ku kueh with green bean paste!

[XXloverbabeXX1]

lols why are grandmas better in this?? my grandma make this too and they say it's suppose to celebrate the god's birthday ^^

[lvghao]

natural colouring can be used with sweet potato (orange in colour)...and angku kuih must have the tortoise mold...otherwise its not perfect!

[piimpet4]

is there an exact ingredient list?

[DogFishSharkRAWR1]

@urbabiigurl91 yeah

[urbabiigurl91]

is red bean paste same as anko?

[destinystarx]

I LOVE ANG KU KUEH!!! childhood classic!

[rawkstarr89]

This recipe looks so good!! I have tried other mochi recipes, some of them have you drenching the mochi in potato starch so they aren't sticky when you eat them but then you get a mouth full of starch. lol. I like the steaming method and using the water and oil. Thank you for posting!

[supakiwibaby]

Yum!!!

[ladythreecats]

can you also boil the mochi instead of steam?

[WoodenRoller]

@ladythreecats No, these are meant to be steamed. If you boil them you would kinda get very soft breakable skin, it would resemble an entirely different dessert. Like tang yuan.

[ladythreecats]

@WoodenRoller thank you for your answer:)

[perfectmoron1]

WHERE'S THE TORTOISE SHAPE !

[WoodenRoller]

@perfectmoron1 It's not a tortoise, they're usually chinese characters.

[lutein1]

The key to ang ku kueh is the mould which is supposed to imprint a turtle pattern (hence the "ku" which means turtle). Ang ku means red turtle and is supposed to signify longevity (because turtle are long-lived).

Fillings can vary but the most popular in Singapore are green bean paste (tau sar).

I'm sure the Peranakans adopted the art of making kueh from our ancestors in China, but I believe AKK is indeed one of a kind originating from the Nyonyas from Malaysia/Singapore.

[asdfcookiemonster]

Also, is there a version where the flour/dough is colored with green and the filling is savory (radish/dried shrimp) instead?

[asdfcookiemonster]

@_________________@ There's a dessert that's similar in Taiwan... heck, it's even pronounced similarly. Also, the way you say grandma is similar too. I'M SO CONFUSED (well, not really, but kind of).

[GuitarRawks2010]

hey you and me are the same ,my grandmother made this mostly ,and me and my sis love this and we live in singapore

[lonebard]

Thank you so much. I met a Malay girl on twitter and I like to learn about foods! This is a cool one that I will mention to impress her sometime :)

PS. Beautiful voice.

[trent8002003]

South East Asia is home to some of the peoples that are most talented in sweet treats. Nonya and Indonesian sweet treats are to die for. How south east asian peoples stay so small and thin really beats me.

[ggglllllll]

Subscribed! also I should try this method instead of the microwave one... PPS you are pretty cute! :D

[josiescookies17]

Wow I have to make this!! I love your voice too it's really cute

[CJstylez]

You're cute.

[josiescookies17]

@CJstylez So is her voice

[headlump]

@josiescookies17 I was just about to say the same thing xD

[ImaginarYxGoddesS]

@CJstylez She's average.

[IAmSuchANerdLol]

@ImaginarYxGoddesS Someone's bitter.

Anyways, your grandma is, indeed, gangster.

[ImaginarYxGoddesS]

@IAmSuchANerdLol If I'm bitter, you're blind.

[IAmSuchANerdLol]

@ImaginarYxGoddesS I never implied she's cute. I only said you're bitter. Do you have some problems you would like to get off your chest? They seem to have persisted for longer than 2 months.

[ImaginarYxGoddesS]

@IAmSuchANerdLol I replied to your reply. I don't think that's being "persistent for two months," rather, I'm being responsive. I have no ill intentions towards anyone. I just know when someone is attractive.

[IAmSuchANerdLol]

@ImaginarYxGoddesS You're quite adamant on your opinion that she's not cute. There's some kind of problem there if you aren't able to let someone call another person attractive without having to throw in your anonymous opinion, as well. If you believe your thoughts on others hold as facts, then that's awesome. I hope that's working out for you. I think I'm going to go by your beliefs, too. I *know* you have some problems, and there is *no* way you can prove me wrong. You should talk to someone.

[ImaginarYxGoddesS]

@IAmSuchANerdLol Ditto

[idzaur]

OMG!! I love this song!! :D

[XXloverbabeXX1]

my grandmother always make and pray to the god like let the god eat first then we can eat

[kickmyask82]

i doubt this originates in Malaysia...

This is more likely Chinese desert that appears in Malaysia because the Chinese migrants bring it there.

Be careful girl do not claim what's not yours. =D

[MsSseoul]

Yummy thats were i purchased all my materials to make mochi

[gokilforce09]

this food is originaly from indonesia, malaysia just have 1 food, that is NASI LEMAK, wkwkwkwkkw

[zephyrspromise]

What's the name of the song playing? :O

[mshybiscus]

@zephyrspromise It's Murderers by John Frusciante!

[9VARZ]

You forgot to mention that other fillings are possible too! Like peanut (my personal fave!) and green bean paste!

Oh yes, the mould too.

[Clarisysify]

You sound like that make up guru michelle phan in this video lol and this looks awesome I'll try and make this :)

[DerpPurple]

@Clarisysify haha i was just gonna comment that!

[animegirlx15]

oh my~ these are so gorgeous! thanks for the great video ^^

[crowntwinkietaster]

i'm singaporean! haha, ang ku kueh tastes awesome!

[esther881022]

can i know the recipe please?

[paint56872]

WHAT!!! It just stopped in the middle of the instructions!!!!!!!!!!!

[mshybiscus]

@paint56872 What do you mean? It shouldn't stop in the middle...the video should be 2 minutes and 31 seconds. =)

[MeL0dYxRain]

Mmmmm...

i just made this :D

it's my mom's bday and she loves red bean.. i thought i would make this for her :)

yummy ;D

thanks for the recipe .

[mshybiscus]

@MeL0dYxRain Oh I'm glad I could help! Hope she liked them!

[mzKiiaVaj]

yummmmmy

[KucingKayap]

This recipe i believe transcends frm chinese community. However, you could say that this is a simplified version of the Japanese Mochi. Another version of mochi recipe tht transcends from malay community is what we call 'Tepung Gomak'. A similar gewy dish dusted with green bean powder with fillings made frm dessicated coconut cooked with palm sugar.

[KucingKayap]

@KucingKayap ...not to forget, the gooey, green 'ondeh-ondeh'. Covered with dessicated coconut n filled with palm sugar which burst upon the first bite!!!

[ystar]

Thanks for the recipe. Part of the directions should include cranking your stereo to 11 to induce some audio clipping while listening to John Frusciante

[urbitch4evr]

this is called daifuku, mochi is different but made of rice flour as well

[joshua61991]

Yeah Grandmama is a real man! oh wait.

[sesame297]

Thanks for sharing. Yr ang ku kueh will look better if you use an Ang Ku Kueh mould to shape the kueh. It looks plain if you just make it a round shape.

[mshybiscus]

Wow, they have molds?! How very cool! I never even knew that!

[jac168]

we (chinese-indo) called this: kueh tok or kueh ku or ang ku kueh....

[eschenk2]

Should title your movie "How to make Ang Ku Kueh" and not mochi as Ang Ku Kueh is very different from mochi. Plus this is a Hokkian / peranakan dish, not Malaysian per se.

[Xiia0Sn00pY]

peranakan dish (:

[snsmystic]

you have a really nice voice! it's like one of those professional instructional videos :)

ANd the food looks so good... I"ll have to try it. The banana leaf would make it smell so good

[hybiscuskiss]

Yes! It's definitely a hybrid/adapted version!

[nataliezurawski]

We have that in Taiwan too but it's bready, not made with sticky rice. Thanks for the video, it brings back fond childhood memory =)
