Pumpkin Soup With Glutinous Rice Balls ~ 南瓜珍珠露

Tang Yuan (glutinous rice balls) is a traditional Chinese Dessert. It is a desert that is well loved by all generations. The original ones are plain tang yuan in clear sugar syrup. Ginger and pandan leaves are added for more flavor.

Today more and more varieties of tang yuan are made to suit individual taste. This is one of the varieties that i found in a book to share here.

Recipe source: Heart Aflutter with Dessert~南瓜珍珠露
a book by Chin Mun Chong

Ingredient for glutinous ball:
250g glutinous flour
160ml water 

Ingredient for filling:
130g cooked wheat flour
75g castor sugar
100g peanut butter
100g vegetable oil (i used 40g only)

Soup Base:
200g pumpkin
600ml water
50g sago
adequate of sugar 
200ml fresh milk
2 tbsp of evaporated milk (i added 4 tbsp)
(i added 2 tbsp crushed coconut sugar)

To do:
1) Mix glutinous flour with water to form into a dough. (if you find the dough a bit dry with 160ml do add a little more to have a smooth and pliable dough) Divide into 20g each balls.
2) Bake wheat flour in oven for 5-10 minutes. Set aside to cool then mix with the rest of the ingredients into a paste. (keep in fridge for 15 minutes to get a firm filling for easy wrapping)
3) Steam pumpkin till cooked. (I steam for about 20 minutes) Add water and blend till fine. ( I mashed my steamed pumpkin)
4) Scald the sago in boiling water until transparent. Remove and soak into cold water. Set aside.
5) Wrapped fillings into divided glutinous rice balls dough. Scald in boiling water until the glutinous rice balls floats up. Remove and soak into cold water. Set aside.
6) to do the soup base:
Add mashed pumpkin into 600ml water, adding the rest of the soup base ingredients together in a pot. Bring to a boil.
7) Add in cooked rice balls and cooked sago into the soup and serve warm or cold by adding ice cubes.

**Tips for cooking sago:
1) Soak sago in water for 10 minutes.
2) In a pot of boiling water, pour in soaked sago. Reboil and let sago soak in for 15-20 minutes. (off the stove)
3) When sago turns transparent, take out and soak in cold water.


~the taste of this pumpkin soup base is really tasty~

~the rice ball gives a chewy (QQ) texture, which is very nice~


~the aroma of the peanut butter and the caramel taste of coconut sugar~

  8. It's looks more like palm sugar than coconut sugar, palm sugar (aren) more fragrant than coconut. I think using coconut milk will taste great too, like kolak soup.

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
