Nainai pan fried dumplings

I have been cooking since our maid left. I persist on my mission which is "less oil, less sugar and less salt" in cooking. Last week I made some dumplings. I have chosen turnip/seng kuang and mushroom instead of pork. This can get rid of the oily taste. It is something different, you can try.


I used 300gm flour, 150gm potato flour instead of tapioca flour
warm water and some oil for the pastry




Packed and to be kept in the freezer


Spray a thin layer of oil in the frying-pan
cover and cook with 3/4 cup of water


Packed for work
Taste good with ginger and vinegar

My Dessert

It is Ramadhan month now. I specially prepared some jellies for our maid. I feel nothing is more soothing than to savour chilled desserts on a hot day, especially after fasting for a day. I do not use artificial colouring. General colours such as red can be replaced by ribena or dragon fruit, pandan or spinach juice to get a nice green, orange or carrot juice to replace the orange colouring. Pureed mangoes make a sunny yellow. I usually use 'Gula Melaka' or coffee for brown depending on the flavour required.

Now I am a grandma with three cucu. (Look at how our childred grown and develop, I feel TIME passes quickly. It flies when we are having fun.................!!)
