Made something quite cheena today. Can you guess what I am making from this list of items?

Check out the main ingredients:

And this… should be very obvious by now??

Yeh that’s right! I made 水饺！

I love to eat dumplings. A bubbling hot bowl of dumpling soup is just so wonderful on a rainy day! Wrapped my dumplings with the lovely ingredients inside… Great satisfaction!

Kept some of them in the freezer so that I can cook them for Isaiah with noodles tonight for supper if he’s hungry!

I had it for lunch myself. Nice! :)

Wanna try make your own dumplings too? Here is a list of simple ingredients you can have (modify according to your likes!):

• 200 grams of chicken, minced
• 100 grams of fish paste
• 10 prawns, de-shelled & minced
• 3 water chestnuts, finely chopped
• Dumpling skin, comes in easy packages
• Spinach for cooking in soup
• Chicken stock
• Noodles, to make it a full meal

Just mix all the meats together with the chestnuts, add a little corn flour and you can start to wrap the dumplings. Seal the dumplings with some water at the sides. In a pot of boiling chicken stock, throw in spinach and dumplings. Cooks very fast. Good to make lots of them and freeze them. Just take out from fridge & cook for a quick meal.

Enjoy! :)
