Simplified Putu Mayam

Recently a friend gave me this oranged colour sugar, and immediately it reminded me of this indian snack...i remembered i saw this recette when browsing thru my friend's blog, it was a pity i didnt have the wanted sugar. And today i tot give it a try...hm, overall not too bad except the blanched bee hoon turned up abit wet..the next time i will try another step that is to steam it to make the texture even soften and perhaps lesser water....cheers, here is the recipe http://crystalbyblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/simplified-putu-mayam.html
