Pumpkin Ang Koo

Pumpkin Ang Koo Recipe (7 July 2018)

Pumpkin Ang Koo is a variation of the delicious Chinese delicacy. This is a golden yellow Ang Koo that is made without any artificial colouring. The colour of the skin comes from pumpkin and carrot juice.

Filling

Ingredients

200g de-skinned mungbeans
100g sugar
Salt
2-3 tablespoons cooking oil.

Steps

Soak the mungbeans for four hours, then steamed with three pandan leaves, cut into three-inch piece and scattered on top of the beans
After steaming, mix it with the sugar and then mash or blend it while it is still hot.
Add a pinch of salt depending on your own preference.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of cooking oil.
Once cooled, form into balls of around 25g each (or based on size of your Ang Koo mould). Set aside.

Skin

Ingredients

100g steamed mashed pumpkin
200g glutinous rice flour
1 teaspoon rice flour
20g sugar
130-150ml carrot juice (blend half a carrot for the juice), adjust to wetness of the dough
2 tablespoon cooking oil, to be added last

Steps

Mix all the ingredients for the skin while the steamed mashed pumpkin is still hot. Once the dough is smooth, add the oil and mix it thoroughly. Set aside 15 minutes, then form into balls of 20g each (or based on size of your Ang Koo mould).
Cut banana leaf to the size of your Ang Koo mould.
Brush the top of the banana leaf with cooking oil.
Flatten the pumpkin dough and place one ball of mungbean filling into it. Form into a round ball, then press into the mould.
Once your Pumpkin Ang Koo has been moulded, steam for 8-10 minutes.

About this website

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.
