Homemade Kueh Pie Tee ~

One day I saw Kueh Pie Tee mould shown below sold @ Cold Storage, then it inspired me to try to do one at home when we only usually eat them at food court or food centre or at buffet line.

And it can be a very intereting food to do @ party as it involves some hands on by your guests.

At a Kueh Pie Tee Party everyone gets empty shells and fills them up with whatever they want. I once saw people fill up with carviar on top, nice one I guess.

As for me the base filling is as below:

Ingredients:

Base fillings
1 medium size Jicama (Bang Kwang) (shredded)
1 carrot (shredded)

2 cloves Garlic (minced)

2 cloves Shallots (minced)

1 tablespoon dark soya sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/3 cup water

1/3 cup of chicken stock

Top fillings (you can choose any top fillings that you like anything that you can think of)

200g fresh prawns/steamed crab meat or a mixture of both
2 hard boiled eggs

coriander leaves & chillies for decoration

Direction:

1. Heat some oil in a large pot over a low heat. Add the minced garlic and minced shallot and stir fry until fragrant.

2. Add the shredded bang kuang and carrot  and sautee until fragrant. Add the dark soy sauce, salt and pepper, and then add water and chicken stock. Cook until the liquid dry up and set aside.

(Optional: you can add additional water/chicken stock to just-cover the bang kuang if you prefer softer texture than the crunchy texture)
3. As for the top fillings, you can boil the prawns or steamed crab meat and season it with some salt and then set aside.

(Optional: you can squeeze some lemon on it to make it more refreshing flavor)

4. Boiled eggs and cut them into small pieces or shredd them.

5. To serve, use chopsticks to fill the case with the base filling, and then top with shredded eggs, prawns or crab mean, and finally decorate with some red chilies and corriander leaves.
