At Ah Mah’s Legacy, we believe that the best flavors come from nature. That’s why we love incorporating sweet potatoes into our Gu Kueh skins, creating a naturally vibrant and nutritious treat. Paired with glutinous rice flour, which gives Gu Kueh its signature soft and chewy texture, sweet potatoes bring a unique depth of flavor, natural sweetness, and added health benefits.From the rich, golden hue of Japanese sweet potatoes to the striking purple of purple sweet potatoes and the warm orange of orange sweet potatoes, each variety adds its own special touch to our handcrafted kuehs.Let’s explore why sweet potatoes and glutinous rice flour are a match made in kueh heaven!
Unlike wheat-based pastries, Gu Kueh is traditionally made using glutinous rice flour, which gives the skin its:
✔ Soft, bouncy texture – The elasticity of glutinous rice flour creates that perfect chewiness.
✔ Naturally gluten-free composition – A great alternative for those with gluten sensitivities.
✔ Light yet satisfying bite – Smooth and slightly stretchy, making it the ideal base for our Gu Kueh.
By blending sweet potatoes and other vegetables into this base, the dough becomes even silkier, slightly moist, and naturally colorful—without any artificial dyes.
Instead of using synthetic food coloring, we use different varieties of sweet potatoes and other kinds of vegetables to give our Gu Kueh skins a beautiful, natural hue:
Orange Sweet Potato (Warm Sunset Hue) – High in beta-carotene, this variety lends a bright orange glow and a natural caramel-like sweetness.These natural colors make every piece of our Gu Kueh as visually delightful as it is flavorful!
Japanese Sweet Potato (Golden Yellow Skin) – Naturally sweet with a nutty undertone, this variety gives our kueh a soft golden color and a creamy, dense texture.
Purple Sweet Potato (Deep Violet Skin) – Rich in anthocyanins, it creates a stunning deep purple shade while adding a mildly earthy sweetness.
Beyond aesthetics, sweet potatoes are packed with health benefits:
✔ Lower in refined sugar – Their natural sweetness means we use less added sugar in our kuehs.
✔ High in fiber – Helps with digestion and keeps you feeling full longer.
✔ Loaded with vitamins & antioxidants: Rich in vitamin C, great for skin and immunity Packed with anthocyanins, known for their anti-inflammatory benefits & a great source of beta-carotene, which promotes eye and skin health.
