Kuih Kosui Recipe
Growing up in Penang where there is a strong Nyonya presence, Nyonya kuih is a sweet delicacy that would always have a special place in my heart.
My late grandmother was a famed Nyonya kuih maker. I grew up watching her and my late aunt preparing trays upon trays of freshly steamed Nyonya kuih.
Nyonya kuih comes in different shapes, forms, textures and colors. One of my favorite is the kuih kosui.
Nyonya Kuih
Kuih kosui is a saucer shaped rice cake flavored with pandan (screwpine leaves) juice.
A lot of pandan is used to bring out the aroma of this kuih.
A good kuih kosui is rich in pandan aroma and have a springy and soft texture. It is best eaten with freshly grated coconut.

Hi, Bee. I am interested in making this kuih, but not sure what alkaline water is and where to get it. Is there a substitute for alkaline water? What is the purpose of having it in the recipe? Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Rasa Malaysia
No substitute, you can get at Asian stores.

Like the guest writer said, Alkaline water is Lye water. I bought mine imported from the Philippines and the label says “Lye water”. Hope this helps.
