			'''Pie Tee''', also known as '''Top Hats''', is a popular [[Peranakan cuisine\|Peranakan]] dish that consists of thin and crispy pastry cups filled with a savory mixture of vegetables and sometimes meat. It is a well-loved snack in [[Malaysia]] and [[Singapore]], often served at festive occasions and gatherings.

	== ~~Preparation~~ ==		==History==
	~~The preparation of~~ Pie Tee ~~involves two main parts:~~ the ~~making~~ of ~~the shells~~ and the ~~preparation~~ of ~~the filling~~.		Pie Tee has its origins in the [[Peranakan]] or [[Straits Chinese]] community, which is a unique blend of [[Chinese]] and [[Malay]] cultures. The dish reflects the fusion of these culinary traditions, combining Chinese cooking techniques with local ingredients.

	==~~= Shells =~~==		==Ingredients==
	The ~~shells~~ of Pie Tee are made from a batter ~~consisting~~ of [[~~flour~~]], [[~~egg~~]], [[~~water~~]], and [[~~salt~~]]. The batter is poured into a special Pie Tee mould and then deep-fried until it becomes crispy. The mould is carefully dipped into hot oil before being dipped into the batter to ensure that the shell does not stick to the mould.		The main components of Pie Tee are the pastry cups and the filling. The pastry cups are made from a batter of rice flour, wheat flour, and water, which is deep-fried until golden and crispy. The filling typically includes a mixture of julienned vegetables such as [[jicama]], [[carrot]], and [[turnip]], often stir-fried with [[garlic]], [[shallots]], and sometimes [[shrimp]] or [[pork]].

	==~~= Filling =~~==		==Preparation==
	The ~~filling~~ of Pie Tee typically consists of thinly sliced [[jicama]], carrots, and french beans, which are stir-fried with prawns and seasonings such as garlic, pepper, and soy sauce. The filling is then spooned into the crispy shells just before serving to ensure that the shells remain crispy.		The preparation of Pie Tee involves several steps:

	== ~~Serving~~ ==		===Making the Pastry Cups===
	~~Pie Tee~~ is ~~usually served as an appetizer or a snack~~. It is ~~often accompanied by~~ a ~~dipping sauce, such as chili sauce or sweet sauce~~.		The batter for the pastry cups is prepared by mixing rice flour, wheat flour, and water. A special mold is used to shape the batter into thin cups, which are then deep-fried until crispy. The cups should be light and delicate, providing a perfect vessel for the filling.

	== ~~Cultural Significance~~ ==		===Preparing the Filling===
	~~Pie Tee~~ is ~~a significant dish in Peranakan culture~~. It is ~~often served during festive occasions~~ and ~~family gatherings~~. The ~~preparation of Pie Tee~~ is ~~considered a labor of love~~, ~~as it requires a lot of time~~ and ~~effort~~ to ~~prepare~~.		The filling is made by stir-frying the julienned vegetables with garlic and shallots. If meat is used, it is usually minced and cooked with the vegetables. The mixture is seasoned with [[soy sauce]], [[oyster sauce]], and [[white pepper]] to taste.

	== ~~See Also~~ ==		===Assembling the Pie Tee===
			To serve, the filling is spooned into the pastry cups just before eating to ensure the cups remain crispy. Pie Tee is often garnished with fresh [[coriander]] leaves and served with a side of [[chili sauce]] for added flavor.

			==Cultural Significance==
			Pie Tee is more than just a snack; it is a representation of the Peranakan heritage and its rich culinary traditions. It is often served during [[Chinese New Year]], weddings, and other celebrations, symbolizing prosperity and abundance.
