Kuih Kosui
This Kuih Kosui is a very popular Asian snack and have been made by quite a number of bloggers recently. I also bookmarked this recipe from Alan (Travelling foodies) It is not very difficult to make this kuih at home, the texture is springy and soft. I love the aroma of the gula melaka (palm sugar) and pandan flavours mixed with grated white coconut. A perfect snack for those who enjoy kuih and it’s best to serve guests at home.

Total time
Author: Ann Low
Serves: 12 tea cups
Ingredients
- 130g Gula Melaka
- 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 100ml Water
- 2-3 Pandan leaves, knotted
- 75g Rice flour
- 35g Tapioca flour
- ½ tsp Alkaline water
- 50g Grated white coconut
- 3-4 Pandan leaves, a pinch of salt
Instructions
- Add gula melaka, granulated sugar, knotted pandan leaves and 100ml water in a pot and heat until the gula melaka has melted. Turn off heat and set aside.
- Sieve through the gula melaka syrup in a clean container and top up with more water to yield a final volume to 500ml of diluted syrup.
- Add in rice flour, tapioca flour and alkaline water. Mix evenly and strain the mixture over a pot to remove any flour lumps.
- Return the pot to stove and over low flame, heat the mixture until it begins to thicken slightly. Use a wooden spoon or heat resistant spatula to mix the batter at all times, especially taking care to scrape the bottom, sides and corners of the saucepan to make sure that the batter doesn't start to cook and harden there. Off fire.
- Pour mixture over small tea cups or moulds until three quarters full. (I greased the cups with little oil before pouring in the mixture)
- Steam for about 12 minutes under very low heat or until the batter turned a darken brown and has completely set. Remove from steamer and set aside to cool.
- While waiting for the teacups to cool down, steam the grated coconut and pandan leaves with a pinch of salt for 8 minutes.
- When the kuih konsui has cooled down, remove from teacup moulds by running the sides carefully with a small knife. Roll over grated coconut and served.

Hi Jocey, your kuih kosui look pretty and so happy that you made this kuih at your first attempt 😀 Good job!!
Good morning Ann,I want to double the ingredients and make it in a 7 inch square pan, can you advice me how long should I steam it?ThanksRegardsLala
Hi Lala, I'm not sure how long it takes to in square pan, proabably 30-45 mins in low fire. You can take a look at my abok abok sago, the steaming time is about 30 minutes.
Hi Ann,These nonya kuehs are one of those that I like to make and show off in front of my Aussie colleagues :p Love to bookmark this recipe.Zoehttp://bakeforhappykids.blogspot.com
Thank you Zoe. I'm sure you definitely can impress your colleagues with this Asian sweet treat 🙂
Hi Ann, is alkaline water neccessary?
Hi Karen, I think I saw some bloggers omitted the alkaline water in this recipe. You may like to try without the alkaline water and sees what the outcome as this is a very small portion recipe. Makes around 12 pieces.
Thank you Ray 🙂 Hope one day, you can share your recipe with us too.
Eileen, 这是用你么的马六甲的椰糖做的,真的特别香 🙂
Yummy snacks, 百吃不腻!!
这个用椰糖做的糕点,我爱死了,嘻嘻!
Ann, I like all things chewy and starchy so this is definitely for me! What more gula melaka and pandan – wow sure very very fragrant. You think I can still yiled 12pcs of I use the 12-hole muffin tin? Thanks and yummy!
I have never seen such snacks before, but they look beautiful.
I'm always intrigued by what comes out of your kitchen…. Can courier some for me or not huh?
Ai Li, I'm sure you'll love this. I think the 12 hole muffin tin is too big. I bought the plastic cups from Sunlik. Only $2 for 12. Don't be stingy lah,… hahaa
We make something similar and this is soooo good, Ann. I'm glad you posted this wonderful treat. Thank you. 🙂
小巧玲珑的,真是可爱极了
