Fried Meat Dumpling "Sui Kow"

Fried Meat Dumpling or Fried Sui Kow a dish where everybody loves to eat, simple to make and good to eat... Get a good quality "wanton skin" from the fresh market which gives a good crispy bite when fried. This dish shared the same tagline of Chipsmore biscuits "now u see it, now u don't"...hahaha!

Mua-Yew (Sesame Oil) Minced Meat

Those were the days where I cannot wait to complete the confinement days and this dish brings back good memories as it is one of the dishes for my confinement meal. It is called "mua-yew bak" or meat cooked with sesame oil. My mum will add lots and lots of ginger in this dish for me, phew....good for clearing excessive gas in tummy.


I got this extract from one of the Nutrition webpage, see how wonderful Sesame Oil is. EXTRACTS : "The rich, almost odourless oil is also highly nutritious, rich in vitamins A, B and E as well as the minerals iron, calcium, magnesium, copper, silicic acid and phosphorus"


Till today, this simple dish is still part of my menu, as my kids loves it...yep, they love the tasty gravy made from the aromatic sesame oil and it is appetizing when mixed with hot rice. The meat are minced so I guess less fuss of chewing too.....I assure you kids prefer "no-fuss" dish too, not just lazy mum..

Get a good bottle of sesame oil and it will make a difference to the dish..I prefer the old renown brand from Penang - Ghee Hiang - get it from hypermart.
