Sui Kow Soup

We all love this simple soup meal and Lazy Mum is all set for it. Yes, this is Dumpling Soup or Sui Kow Soup. It is rather filling, I filled each bowl with 6 pieces and it makes a complete lunch for each of us... :)) Easy and healthy eating for the day. It is fast to prepare and great to eat!

The soup is made of anchovies which I have lightly stir fry with ginger before boiling it with water.

The filling for the dumpling is the same as Siu Mai - Dumpling, my earlier post, just click to check. Steam the dumpling for 10 mins before putting it into the boiling soup, bring to a quick boil and ready to serve.

Have a Happy n Healthy Meal!

Chai Kueh - Vegetable Dumpling

This is a beautiful vegetable dumpling or fondly known as "chai kueh". Look at the beautiful opague skin and its softness. Cheers to my dear hubby for his first attempt in making this delicious vegetable dumplings for us. Somehow he is good in "kueh" and has all the patience to knead the dough... great effort, muuuach! The skin recipe was adopted from a cookbook by Agnes Chan - Nyonya Kueh. The shape and filling of the dumpling has been modified totally to our own preference. This vegetable dumpling goes very well with garlic chilly lime.. taste so good!
