kuih

The culinary legacy of kuih can be traced to the 15th century when it flourished in the Southeast Asian region from a combination of local ingredients and food culture brought through trade or colonisation. The indigenous Southeast Asians produced a variety of snack delicacies using both local and imported ingredients, with migration, colonisation, modernisation and globalisation having all played a part in the creation and evolution of kuih.

Kuih is made and enjoyed by different ethnicities with the most commercially successful ones being made by Peranakan (Baba Nyonyas) in the southern parts of Malaysia.{{cite web|url=https://www.ucsiuniversity.edu.my/sites/default/files/gaz-vol31.pdf|title=THE UCSI Gazette [One Kuih At A Time: Cross Cultural Delicacies]|work=UCSI University|edition=UCSI Gazette Magazine|date=2 July 2019|access-date=15 April 2025|page=16 [18/24]|format=PDF|quote=Kuih is made and enjoyed by many of Malaysia’s ethnicities with the most commercially successful ones being made by Baba Nyonyas in the southern parts of Malaysia; the northerners have quite a formidable repertoire or kuih recipes as well.

Nyonya (Peranakan) kuih are sometimes represented as distinct from Malay and Indonesian kuih, but many Nyonya kuih are fundamentally the same as Malay or Indonesian kuih.{{cite web|url=https://www.bellobello.my/blog/traditional-kuih-malaysia/|title=50 Popular Traditional Malay & Nyonya Kuih in Malaysia|work=Bello Bello|access-date=15 April 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250415084313/https://www.bellobello.my/blog/traditional-kuih-malaysia/|archive-date=15 April 2025|url-status=dead}}{{cite news|url=https://explore.airasia.com/assets/bltdbef1f597ee9f5f2/your-definitive-guide-to-nyonya-kuih|title=Your Definitive Guide to Nyonya Kuih|last=Santhinathan|first=Chitra|work=Explore AirAsia|date=9 May 2024|access-date=15 April 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250415085145/https://explore.airasia.com/assets/bltdbef1f597ee9f5f2/your-definitive-guide-to-nyonya-kuih|archive-date=15 April 2025|url-status=dead}} For some Nyonya kuih, there are minor changes to Malay kuih to suit Peranakan eating habits and tastes.{{sfn|Wu|Tan|2001|p=141}}

In almost every Malay kuih, the most common flavouring ingredients are grated coconut (flavoured or plain), coconut cream (thick or thin), pandan (screwpine) leaves and gula melaka (palm sugar, either fresh or aged), one example are the kuih lompang.{{cite web|url=https://www.starproperty.my/news/7-malaysian-kuih-with-coconut/112963|title=7 Malaysian ‘kuih’ with coconut|last=Ridzuan|first=Suriati|work=StarProperty|date=2 July 2019|access-date=15 April 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250415005847/https://www.starproperty.my/news/7-malaysian-kuih-with-coconut/112963|archive-date=15 April 2025|url-status=dead}} While those make the flavour of kuih, their base and texture are built on a group of starches: rice flour, glutinous rice flour, glutinous rice and tapioca. Two other common ingredients are tapioca flour and green bean (mung bean) flour (sometimes called "green pea flour" in certain recipes). They play the most important part in giving kuihs their distinctive soft, almost pudding-like, yet firm texture. In the northern states of Kedah, Perak, Perlis, Kelantan, and Terengganu kuih ({{lang|ms|kuih-muih}} in Malay) are usually sweet.{{cite journal|title=The diversity of traditional Malay kuih in Malaysia and its potentials|last1=Kamaruzaman|first1=Mohd Yusof|last2=Ab Karim|first2=Shahrim|last3=Che Ishak|first3=Farah Adibah|last4=Arshad|first4=Mohd Mursyid|journal=Journal of Ethnic Foods|date=15 June 2020|volume=7|doi=10.1186/s42779-020-00056-2|s2cid=219771338|doi-access=free}} In the central and southeast Peninsular states of Johor, Malacca, Negeri Sembilan and Selangor, savoury kuih can be found.{{cite journal|title=Exposing the nuances of traditional Malay Kuih in Mersing district, Johor, Malaysia|last1=Kamaruzaman|first1=Mohd Yusof|last2=Ab Karim|first2=Muhammad Shahrim|last3=Che Ishak|first3=Farah Adibah|last4=Arshad|first4=Mohd Mursyid|journal=Journal of Ethnic Foods|year=2022|volume=9|issue=1:23|doi=10.1186/s42779-022-00139-2|doi-access=free|page=4/12}} Kuih are more often steamed than baked, and are thus very different in texture, flavour and appearance from Western cakes or puff pastries.{{cite web|url=https://www.malaysianvegan.com/pages/guide_eating_vegan_kuih.php|title=A Guide to Eating Malaysian Kuih (Local Cakes) for Vegans|work=Malaysian Vegans|access-date=14 April 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250414054827/https://www.malaysianvegan.com/pages/guide_eating_vegan_kuih.php|archive-date=14 April 2025|url-status=dead}} While many kuih in West Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei are made with the steamed method, which results in a soft texture, most kuih made by different indigenous groups from the Bornean island region of Sabah and Sarawak in East Malaysia are often crunchy since most are produced through frying methods.{{cite web|url=https://www.iloveborneo.my/7-kuih-tradisional-borneo-sabah-sarawak/|title=Dari Sabah Ke Sarawak, Ini 7 Senarai Kuih Tradisional Khas Dari Borneo Yang Perlu Anda Cuba|trans-title=From Sabah to Sarawak, Here's a List of 7 Special Traditional Kuih from Borneo That You Need to Try|lang=ms|work=ILoveBorneo.my|date=24 October 2023|access-date=15 April 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250415123925/https://www.iloveborneo.my/7-kuih-tradisional-borneo-sabah-sarawak/|archive-date=15 April 2025|url-status=dead}}

Wheat flour is rarely used in Southeast Asian cakes and pastries. For most kuih, there is no single "original" or "authentic" recipe. Traditionally, making kuih was the domain of elderly grandmothers, aunts and other womenfolk, for whom the only (and best) method for cooking was by "agak-agak" (approximation). They would take handfuls of ingredients and mix them without any measurements or any need of weighing scales. The end product is judged by its look and feel, the consistency of the batter and how it feels to the touch. Each family holds its own traditional recipe as well as each region and state with the recipes have been passed down from one generation to other generations.{{cite journal|url=https://www.ijssh.net/papers/502-V10027.pdf|title=Challenges in Sustaining the Malay Traditional Kuih among Youth|last1=Hamzah|first1=Humairah|last2=Ab Karim|first2=Muhammad Shahrim|last3=Othman|first3=Mohiddin|last4=Hamzah|first4=Azimi|last5=Muhammad|first5=Nur Hafizah|journal=International Journal of Social Science and Humanity|year=2015|volume=5|issue=5|doi=10.7763/IJSSH.2015.V5.502|doi-access=free|page=472|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240725055607/https://www.ijssh.net/papers/502-V10027.pdf|archive-date=25 July 2024|url-status=dead}}{{cite news|url=https://www.utusanborneo.com.my/2020/05/13/faridah-obses-jual-kuih-tradisi-secara-dalam-talian|title=Faridah obses jual kuih tradisi secara dalam talian|trans-title=Faridah is obsessed with selling traditional kuih online|last=Hj Shaiddin|first=Abd Naddin|lang=ms|work=Utusan Borneo|date=10 December 2024|access-date=16 April 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250416014910/https://www.utusanborneo.com.my/2020/05/13/faridah-obses-jual-kuih-tradisi-secara-dalam-talian|archive-date=16 April 2025|url-status=dead}}
