Making Lao Shu Fen (Yin Zhen Fen ,老鼠粉)

Ingredients
2 cups rice flour
1/4 cup tapioca flour (about 4 tablespoon)
1/4 cup Potato starch
200 ml boiling water
175 ml water (room temperature)
2 tbsp oil



*Improvised coconut strainer available from Ikea store but need to change the cup.
Cup is actually a plastic container bought separately, just drill or make some holes at the bottom.

Also available at spotlight stores (Australia) sold as potato ricer but more expensive with three sizes of disc.





Method
1. Mix rice flour , tapioca flour and potatoes starch together into a big bowl.
2. Add in boiling water. Mix well. Keep on stirring till it becomes a paste.
3. Add in normal water to cool down the paste.
4. Add in oil and knead to a smooth paste.
5. Boil water in a pot. Place a grater or an improvised coconut strainer or a potato ricer as picture above on top.
6. Pour the rice paste on to the grater or an improvised coconut strainer as picture above. When the paste falls through the holes, it becomes rice noodles
7. Scope up immediately when the rice noodles float. Set aside to cool.

      you can buy any plastic container as long as it fits. What I normally do is I bring the whole strainer to the supermarket or shop and and try to find one that fits.Then I throw away the plastic lid and drill a few holes at the bottom. I have made a few this way for my friends and they bring it over to overseas to US, Canada, London and even China!. Lucky in Malaysia, we can find such plastic container easily and it works!

Butter Milk Buns- 奶油包

Butter Milk Buns are very popular in Malaysia and Brunei. When I tried to look for it in Perth, I could find any. I guessed this must be another Malaysian creation. This is my 2nd attempt with the fillings. The first filling recipes which I copied from a US website was totally useless and a failure. This time I used the recipe from a Brunei friend. It was a success. The Bun dough recipe was from Kuala Terengganu, a specialty over there. The Bun was very soft even after it cooled down. The butter milk was very nice as well. Two of the fillings in my buns burst during baking but that was because I did not cover up the dough well and it leaked out. Rest of the Buns were perfect. *makes 11pcs of medium size Buns Gelatinised dough 50g bread flour 35ml hot boiling water 1. Place Bread flour in a mixing bowl. 2. .Add hot boiling water and mix with wooden spoon to form a rough dough.. 3. Cover bowl with cling film and leave dough to cool in the fridge f
