My mom made a really nice turnip dumpling. It is called "Chai Kuih" in Teochew. The skin is so nice and translucent, and the filling and whole dumpling is vegetarian. The filling is delicious chopped cooked turnip.
The turnips were having an offer at the supermarket and my mom got each turnip for less than RM1. She said the dumplings cost RM1 each at pasar malam! So we can get more than a whole turnip for that price!
Anyway, it is a traditional dish and we all loved it. It is steamed in a traditional rattan basket over the stove. I am glad my mom makes nice things as I get to eat them!Labels: home cooking, snacks, vegetables
