    Yeah ... this is a classic. I remember cooking a bit pot on Sunday and everyone would dig in the whole day while watching TV to enjoy this. So typical Malaysian :-) Happy Merdeka and thanks for sharing us the recipe.

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.
