Recipe taken from hslingkitchen.

Potato filling:

550g potato
200g shallot
3 Lemon grass smashed
5 pieces of dried chilli
2tbsp meat curry
3sprigs curry leave
Salt sugar

The curried potato above is really good, slightly spicy.

The pau’s texture is good even when cooled, i think mostly due to this method of having a starter dough (part of flour, water, yeast fermented slowly in room temperature for 6 hours and more)

CurryPotatoPau1

pau starter dough left to ferment overnight, bubbles formed inside the soft dough batter

CurryPotatoPau2

mix starter dough and all other ingredients together

Recipe: Steamed Vegetable Dumpling (Chai Koay)

VegetableDumpling1

attempt in making a chinese steamed dumpling(Chai Koay) which i like (recipe taken from hsling’s kitchen).

I find the finished product tasted and smell very floury, it is a must to drizzle with garlic/shallot oil to make this a appetising snack, now i know why this dumplings always looks so oily outside when sold by others.

will not make this again as it is very labour intensive, rolling the dough, cutting out circles, trying to pinch the dough close etc.

For the filling, i used 1 jicama(sengkuang), 1 small carrot, 1 firm tofu, around 10g dried shrimp, around 10 pieves of mushroom, some coriander, 3 Tablespoon soy sauce, pepper ,1 teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon salt. Cilantro overpowers the whole filling, will leave it out if ever make it again.

Tang mein flour(wheat starch) and tapioca flour was used, and rolling dough to medium thickness and using small rice bowl to cut to rounds. Before putting filling into each round, the pastry round is further roll to bigger rounds.

VegetableDumpling2

Cooked filling, it actually taste quite nice at this point, before adding in the cilantro

VegetableDumpling3

added in some cilantro which is very overpowering, will leave it out if i make it again

VegetableDumpling4

the dough made using 2 types of flour (tang mein flour ie wheat starch and tapico flour), looks florescently white.

VegetableDumpling5

very difficult and time consuming to roll out individual rounds, tried to stuff lots of filling ended up not able to seal the dough properly, above some ugly looking dumplings

VegetableDumpling6

ugly ones steamed

VegetableDumpling7

slightly more decent looking dumpling

The dumpling must be coated or drizzeled with garlic/shallot oil as the flour smell from dough is quite strong and un-appetising
