Here is the Nyonya kuih pie tee step-by-step cooking guide: Making Nyonya Kuih Pie Tee is a two-step process:
1) the making of the cases/shells, and 2) the preparation of the filling and toppings…
Now, please click on my step-by-step picture guide to making Nyonya Kuih Pie Tee below.
Heat up your Pie Tee mold in a pot of oil. Make sure the oil covers the top of the mold. The Pie Tee mold should be just hot enough…
Pie Tee batter. Start by using a bigger bowl, as the batter recedes, transfer it to a smaller bowl, and then an even smaller bowl…
Dipping the hot Pie Tee mold into the batter, up to 90 – 95% of the mold. You can coat 1 time, or 2, 3 times if you want thicker cases. Make sure you check the bottom so it’s well coated. As your batter recedes, transfer it to a smaller bowl to get up to that 90-95% level…
Shake the extra batter off the mold and transfer it to the oil for deep-frying…
Use a pair of chopsticks to help fry the Pie Tee cases. If the case doesn’t come off the mold, use the chopsticks to loosen the top edges so the case comes off easily…
Beautiful, perfectly-shaped, and light to golden brown cases. The case shouldn’t come off the mold too early, or else it will not retain the perfect shape…
Pie Tee cases ready for the fillings. Store the cases in an airtight container to keep them crispy…
Chopped jicama (yam bean), french beans, and carrots…
Stir-fry chopped shrimp with minced garlic until aromatic…
Add in all the vegetables, seasonings, and some water…
chopped scallions, red chilies, and fried crispy shallots.
I wanted to warn you that the cooking process is long (read: it will take up to 3 hours to make them); it also takes lots of patience, especially if you are a first-timer. But, when you pop one of these “top hats” or Nyonya kuih pie tee in your mouth, all your efforts will be wholly justified, I assure you.

Can I make the crust a day ahead & store it? I’m living in US, the weather here is pretty dry.

Where can we buy medium size aluminium alloy kuih pie-tee moulds? In Malaysia, the manufacturer has stopped manufacturing this type of moulds. However, brass moulds are available but too heavy to handle. Another company has produced alloy moulds but the bottom part is too wide, and hence the pie-tee cups cannot be stacked in sixes or sevens for packing in tins. Can anyone out there is able to help??

Rather than making the cases (which I tried a very long time ago) is there a replacement that can be bought in an asian store or what would you suggest rather than those delicate cases that I could use? Because I remember how amazing these taste, but I simply don’t want to try the cases again! Thank you!
Rasa Malaysia
You can’t buy the cases and there is really no replacement.

If you can not get the mold (Check on line, occasionally you they have it for sale), I have found that during the Christmas holiday that many of the stores in North America and Europe has Rosette/Timbale Set. The square and circle can be used as an alternative mold (but a little big) and can be finicky to get right. So I finally got one from and it made a lot of difference.
