The Purple Sweet Potato's Story...紫甜薯的故事~

~purple Sweet  potatoes....my favourite..:)

Purple Sweet  Potato is a root vegetable. Rich in nutrients, low in calories, high in fiber, great for diabetics and people who are carbohydrate sensitive. 
  It is soft and sweet when you cooked it. Natural colour full of carotinoids .... antioxidant contains...it fights cancer and fights aging...just like blueberries colour.
 Carotenoids are the pigment compounds that give many fruits and vegetables their vibrant colors.
  You can use them to make them into chips, add olive oil and salt to roast it, make cakes, bread, bao, soft cake (kuih like purple ang koo) and even just steam it and eat it just plain.

  8. Hi Mui Mui, finally I remember to drop by your post abt this purple sweet potato chiffon. I'm in my parents-in-law house & just used their computer to update my blog. No doubt you chiffon looks very soft there! And I noticed that we used 2 different types of purple sweet potatoes. In Australia, our purple sweet potato has white outer skin & the white sweet potato has purple outer skin, terbalik one!

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
