Steamed Cassava Parcels / Pais Ubi Kayu
Thursday, October 28, 2010
Update 26/4/13: Only until recently I knew the Malay name of this kuih, it's Pais Ubi Kayu.
The Malays have another similar kuih called Lepat Ubi, but I like this version better, which was a lot softer, due to the absense of additional tapioca starch.
If you already have the grated cassava on hand, this makes a quick tea time treat.
Steamed Cassava Parcels / Lepat Ubi
Recipe Source: Wendyywy
1 cup packed grated cassava (no need to squeeze dry)
1/4 to 1/3 cup packed freshly grated coconut
1/4 cup sugar
7-10 pieces of banana leaves, cut to about 5X8inches and blanched in boiling water for 2 seconds to soften.
1. Mix everything together except the leaves :) Put some into ur mouth and taste, adjust sweetness accordingly. Remember to spit out the raw cassava mixture.
2. Put one heaped Tbsp of the mixture onto banana leaf and wrap (method shown below)
3. Steam on high heat for 10 minutes.

ya it seems so easy..is it very sweet?
that seems to be one interesting thing to make~ thanks for the recipe :)
I don't think I've had this before. Looks good!
Reminds me of lipat pisang I used to make. The banana leaf wrapping gives the tapioca extra flavour.
I would love to try this, looks so easy and yummy :)
I remember eating this kueh before but that was a long long time ago. I think there were some gula melaka inside. I can imagine the fragrant of the banana leaf in the kueh.
My Asian Dessert,
I hope you'll love this
Meldy,
So far when eaten warm it's soft. This hardly gets around long enough.
lena,
yes, got it, and noted.
Very easy actually.
Jes's Deli Corner,
U slowly add the sugar, and taste as u go along.
Nothing worse than to have oversweetened kuih, can't do anything to salvage it.
WyYv,
Hope you'll like this
pigpigscorner,
This is not a popular kuih among Chinese, but popular among Malays
Busygran,
Oh yes, lepat pisang is another wrapped kuih.
I'll do that someday too.
Anncoo,
It's very easy, provided the grated cassava is ready.
Gert,
Do you mean, it's mixed in, or filled in?
The one I ate, was with white sugar, but you can definately use gula melaka for it.
Very very fragrant.
I dun think I ever try this b4, you must spare me some :P
