Bee KohBee Koh (2 March 2013)


Bee Koh (Chinese: 米糕, Penang Hokkien: ) is a popular glutinous rice Nyonya Kuih in Penang. You can find it sold by Nyonya Kuih sellers in many markets in Penang. The dessert is similar to the Malay wajik. Bee Koh is the perfect dessert for tea time, particularly on a wet cool afternoon. Its softness and sweetness is very soothing.

My wife is quite good at making Bee Koh. I would request that she makes it dark and sweet, which is how I like it. And of course, much softer than the Bee Koh sold in the market. On this page I show you the homemade Bee Koh that my wife made for me. On a separate page I have the bee koh from the market.

Homemade Bee Koh Recipe


Utensils
  1. Steamer
  2. Pot
  3. Tray
  4. Banana leaves
Ingredients
  • 250 g - Glutinous rice, washed, soaked overnight and drained
  • 250 ml - Santan
  • 200 g - Sugar or Brown sugar
  • 100 ml - Water, to put with rice when steaming
  • Banana leaves - scalded and cleaned
  • Pandan leaves, knotted
Steps
  1. Soak the glutinous rice overnight
  2. The next day, steam the glutinous rice with 100ml of water. The amount of water you use to steam it will depend on whether you want the bee koh to be hard or soft. I like it soft, so we use slightly more water. As a guide, the water should be approximately the same height at the glutinous rice it covers.
  3. Stir the rice after 15 minutes and then continue to steam it for another 15 minutes.
  4. Pour santan into wok, then add sugar and the knotted pandan leaves. Cook over a low fire until the sugar dissolves and bubbling.
  5. Pour the steamed glutinous rice to the sugar-coconut milk mixture, discarding the pandan leaves, and stir it in until the mixture thickens. The Bee Koh is done when you put a bit of it on a steamed banana leaf and rub. If it does not stick to it, then it is done. Otherwise you have to continue stirring.
  6. Line a tray with banana leaf.
  7. Pour the Bee Koh into a tray. Use a banana leaf to press down the Bee Koh to make it level. Leave it to cool.
  8. Once cooled, cut the Bee Koh into diamond shapes and serve.
The above recipe is for guidance only. You should adjust according to your own preference once you are familiar with making Bee Koh.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
