Lazy dumplings for breakfast

 



In our house, when the kids were little, this dumpling was the best breakfast option. Compared to traditional dumplings, this is considerably delicious, healthier, and easier. Having those lazy dumplings made and ready to re-steam for ten minutes as breakfast for kids or adults makes a big difference during the school weekday morning rush. My family will never tire of eating it every day. Family members will occasionally ask to have it made for lunch or perhaps dinner.

The dumpling wrapper is the main ingredient in this delicious treat. I'm using store-bought dumpling wrappers since I want to make this dish as simple as possible. It was purchased from the market. It has a completely different filling than the pan-fried Japanese dumplings called gyoza. It has black fungus and scrambled eggs in it.  Egg gives a simple and nutritious breakfast choice. Black fungus has relatively high protein and fiber.  


One thing good about this lazy dumpling is you don’t have to pleats along the top edge of the wrapper. All you need is to enlarge the wrapper and make it a little bit bigger and thinner which is going to make it easier to fold.

You may serve this dumpling straight away or save it in the refrigerator for breakfast the next day in an airtight container. After removing it from the refrigerator and giving it ten minutes of steaming, your breakfast is ready.

This lazy breakfast is so nutritious and delicious. Adults and children love.

 

INGREDIENTS

30g black fungus

1 tsp salt

2 tsp cornstarch

2 eggs

1 stalk coriander leaves, chopped

2 spring onions, chopped

100g ground pork

20 pcs small size shrimps, clean and devein

30 pcs dumpling wrappers

 

Marinade sauce

2 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp light soy sauce

½ tsp dark soy sauce

1 tbsp scallion oil

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tbsp Shaoxing wine

2 tsp cornstarch

 


METHODS

1. Placed the black fungus into a bowl with water together with salt and cornstarch. Soak it for 30 minutes to let it remove dust and dirt. The black fungus will turn bigger and softer. Chopped into small pieces.

2. Chopped the spring onion and coriander leaves, set aside. Cut the prawns into small pieces.

3. Heat some oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs. Let the eggs set around the edges then gently push the set to one side and let the unset egg run into the pan. Cook until the egg is just cooked through. Break it into small pieces with the spatula. Set it aside.

4. Combine the ground pork, prawns,  black fungus, egg, spring onion and coriander leaves into a mixing bowl. Add in the marinade sauce, stir well until all the ingredients are well combined.

5. Enlarge the dumplings with the rolling pin a litter bigger and thinner.

6. Placed the prepared filling on the middle of the dumpling wrapper. Brush some water on the top half. Fold from the bottom half to the filling and roll up to seal it with the top half. Slightly pressed both sides to avoid filling leak out. Repeat the same until all complete.

7. Pour some water in a deep bottom wok with drizzle some cooking oil. Bring it to a boil. Put the dumpling into the water to let it cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove it from the water.

Ondeh-Ondeh in 3 flavour （椰丝球）

Today made a popular dessert in Malaysia, “Ondeh Ondeh”, a type of Nyonya recipe. It is also called “Buah Melaka” because it looks like the fruit of the Malacca tree. The procedure of making is easy. The flavoured glutinous rice balls have grated fresh coconut on the outside and melting Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, inside. The white, milky coconut shreds and little balls of various colours appear fresh and natural. and has a charming appearance. The glutinous rice balls, soft glutinous and chewy are determined by the amount of water and cooking time. The softer the rice balls, the more water and more time it boiled. We like our coconut shreds to be moist and crisp, the melted Gula Melaka to be rich and flavorful, and the texture to be somewhat mushy and sticky. It seems like the nostalgic flavour of my childhood is returning. In addition to the traditional pandan flavour, I have included instructions for making it with sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Of all the flavours of "ondeh...

Pandan Coconut Moss Jelly Mooncake

Half a year has flown by in the blink of an eye, and it's almost Mid-Autumn Festival. It is fall in October this year. I've tried quite a few of jelly mooncakes last year. So, this year I am going to share some of jelly mooncakes that I love. Making jelly mooncakes isn't difficult, and I'm always eagerly anticipating the finished product, because there are always so many surprises when I cut into it. I got the inspiration from an Indonesian dessert “lumut” pudding. Puding Lumut or “moss pudding is a type of jelly or jelly pudding originating from Indonesia, make with a mixture of agar-agar powder, eggs, coconut milk and sugar which is cooked until it forms a moss like mass. Today I am going to transform it into a mooncake.   Other than the beautiful moss from cooking and stirring the mixture. The white layer part that looks like shredded coconut which is actually made from the mixture of agar powder, fresh coconut water and coconut milk. Grate it after it is set...

Braised Pork Belly Char Siu on Stove

  Grilling char Siu is time-consuming? Yes, indeed!! The marinating and cooking steps involved in grilling char Siu might take a lot of time.   In order to allow the flavors to seep into the meat, the traditional process involves marinating the pork for a few hours, often overnight.   Additionally, grilling might take some time, particularly if you want that distinctive char. And also create a crispy surface and smoky flavor. You might say can make char siu, or Chinese BBQ pork with oven baking, or air frying. Oven baking produces an excellent crust and a balance of juiciness. Air fryer is the quickest way to produce a crispy outside and a soft within, although it might not cook as uniformly as oven baking. Today I am sharing a super easy stove top version. You even get a lovely sauce to go with it, and the results are just incredible. It lacks charred or roasted flavor of charcoal because it is cooked entirely on the hob.   Trust me, this method is definitely ...
