i wan the pandan jewels recipe!! pls pls
Hey, I saw that in the mag. Looks interesting. I like the tong sui - yummy in this hot weather.
Yummy! I don't know what's up with the weather these days... kinda miss living in my old apartment now. At least it was breezy on the 4th floor :)
Hi boo & knitties,
You should give the tongshui recipe a try. Simple, easy and so good and refreshing on a hot day, especially when chilled.
Hi rokh,
Here's the recipe. To tell the truth, I did not follow the recipe in the book exactly because I didn't have rice flour that was called for. Instead, I used another crytal dumpling skin recipe from Kitchen Capers.
Ingredients: (for small batch)
100g wheat starch
75g glutinous rice flour
50g tapioca flour
1.5 tbsp corn oil
275 ml boiling water
For filling:
Combine ground peanuts, toasted sesame seeds and dessicated coconut (or fresh coconut flakes + a pinch of salt) and add fine sugar according to your taste.
- Pandan leaves, washed.
To make dumpling skin:
1. Combine flours together (if you wish, you can sift them first).
2. Pour boiling water into the mixture and stir vigorously with chopsticks at once until it forms a sticky dough.
3. Cover and let it rest for 5 mins. Then add oil and knead into a pliable dough.
4. Cover and rest for another 5-10 mins. Dust hand with a little flour then take 10g portion and roll it flat and round, according to your preferred thickness. Add filling and wrap it up into a ball. Shape into a oblong shape and wrap a section of pandan leaf around it. Secure the leaf with a toothpick.
Lightly brush a little bit of oil onto the dumpling.
5. Steam on high heat for 10 minutes until skin becomes translucent.
Enjoy!
