Steamed Xi Pan - Steamed Hakka Glutinous Rice Flur Pancakes








Xi Pan in mandarin or hee pan in hakka is 喜粄, a old-fashion kuih which will be made to celebrate wedding. This kuih is pinkish colour, soft and a bit chewy steamed rice bun. You need to taste it once and will know what I mean. Quite interesting, but need to eat on that day, second day might not taste so good as it will be a bit harder and drier. I made these xi pan with my kids and enjoyed it, we are celebrating our new house is finally done, we get the keys!!!
