Ingredients:
Filling:
1 tablespoon finely ground garlic, coriander root and pepper
½ cup minced pork
½ cup finely chopped onion
¼ cup sweet turnip, minced
¼ cup peanuts, crushed
3 tablespoons palm sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1-2 teaspoons vegetable oil
¼ cup fried garlic
Coriander leaves, side dish
Green salad, side dish
Small hot chili, side dish
Method:
For the filling,
- Finely pound the coriander roots, pepper and garlic together until well mixed.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the garlic mixture ingredients until aromatic. Add the minced chicken and stir to cook and add sweet turnip, peanuts. Stir well to mix everything together.
- Season with soy sauce, sugar and salt. Continue stirring to mix all the ingredients well.
- Cook until the mixture is dry and lightly browned. Set aside and let allow to cool.
For the batter:
½ cup rice flour
3 tablespoons tapioca flour
2 tablespoons arrowroot flour
1 cup water
For the dumpling:
- Combine the rice flour, tapioca flour, arrowroot flour, water, and mix well. Stir until dissolved to form a fine batter.
- Stretch and tie cheesecloth on top of the pot. Make sure to tie it tightly over the top of a pot, leaving about 1 inch at the rim on one side for steam to pass through. Add water to about ¾ level, then place the pot over medium heat until boiling.
- When the steam appears through the pot, spread a thin layer of batter on the cloth, cover and steam for about a minute.
- Place a little bit of filling in the centre of the steamed batter and swirl it over the filling using a spatula.
- Left out and apply with cooking oil with fried garlic. Serve on plates with lettuce, coriander leaves and bush red pepper.
