Method

Heat peanut oil over medium heat. Cook the garlic and shallots until they are golden brown in color. Remove and set aside. Then fry the dried shrimps until crispy, remove and set aside. Fry the red and bird’s eye chilies until soften and dark red in color. Then remove and set aside. Lower the heat and fry dried chilies until crispy. Remove, set aside and reserve the cooking oil.

    Hi! Please advise whether the dried chillies need to cook first in hot water before frying ? Thanks!

      No, just wipe the dried chilies, if necessary.

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
