I have been dying to make some of these Teochew Kueh for a long time. If you know Png Kueh 饭桃, you will noticed that I haven't make it the traditional way, which is a peach-like shape. I didn't want to spend money buying the mould. Wouldn't it be a nice change for the traditional things to get a makeover once a while. It's a great way to get the kids to try it.

The dough is ready when it is not sticky when touched.

Knead dough well and divided into small portion of ball.
Flatten the dough and wrap in sufficient filling.
