Muah Chee (peanuts glutinous rice balls) 麻芝

I have been wanted to try making this Muah Chee (cooked glutinous rice coated with ground peanuts) for a longer time. But i was keep delaying because have to prepare the roasted peanuts which is quite tedious process(roast, remove skin and process). Anyway i have no excuses this time as my mother gave me some leftover ground roasted peanuts that she prepared during CNY for ang ku kueh making.

With the earlier experience of making daifuku mochi, so this time i have no problem to handle the sticky cooked glutinous rice dough.

Using a sharp scissor to cut the muah chee, it was so easy to handle ..

I like to enjoy like Penang style, add some fried shallot with it.

I would said the homemade muah chee has no difference in taste if compare to store-bought.
