    I've never worked with pandanus leaves - is there any other flavor that you can compare them to?

    is palm sugar different than regular sugar?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Angie TeeOctober 7, 2010 at 9:07 PM

    @Anonymous: Yes. Palm sugar is extracted from the palm tree while regular sugar is derived from sugar canes. Palm sugar has a caramel-like sweetness and they are used primarily for making sweets and desserts.

    Hi Angie, i've just stumbled onto this wonderful blog :) but i was just wondering if i needed to soak the rice over night or at least 6 hrs prior to cooking?

    Thanks,

Dumplings

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.
