When we(my sisters and I) were little, we always help up with the house chores and also doing all the 'kuih' for sell. Now we are all married and have our own family but still we can always go home to get a taste of this 'kuih'.I love all the variety of 'kuih' my mum make and I want to preserved the recipes so that I can make them for my kids, friends and may next time to my grand children .....:p

There are three types of fillings and they can be recognise by their shape.  The round one is with peanut, the oval one is with red bean paste and the one shape like a olive seed is savoury that is 'sengkuang' fillings. So which one do you like....~~

2) Mix in 60g water, then divide into a few addition to mix shortening into the dough and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.

3) While waiting, may prepare the fillings and sprinkle white sesame seeds on a dry plate, set aside for later use. Roll the dough long, cut into 20g eaches, wrap a teaspoon of peanut filling and shape it round. You can also wrap red bean paste(10g) into it and shape it oval or savoury sengkuang filling inside and shape it like a olive seed.

4) Wet the skin of the dumpling with a little water and roll onto the prepared sesame seeds. (if you want to have it plain, do not roll the sesame seed on)


5) Heat up oil in a saucepan or wok. Make sure oil it hot around 80c to 100c (dip a chopstick into oil, if the oil bubbling around the chopstick mean it is hot enough)

6) Put the dumplings into hot oil, do not stir it at first. Turn the heat down. Wait for a few minutes, then start to stir the dumpling continously, now turn the heat up. Fried till the dumplings is golden brown then it is ready. Dish up and leave dumplings on wire rack to dip of excess oil.
