Sui kow (水饺) – Featured recipe for Rasa Malaysia

Two year ago, when I was just starting to cook for my family, a friend of mine made a strong recommendation that I visit Rasa Malaysia’s food blog for its recipes and cooking ideas. When I browsed thru her blog, I was very amazed by her stunning shots and high level of professionalism in food presentation, not to mention her cooking and baking skills. Since then, I had been following her blog closely and even referred it as my “online cookbook”.

 

I have to say that her featured recipes are getting more and more interesting and impressive now. There are many cooking tips and methods I learnt thru reading her posting. Each time I visited her blog, I will be drooling and leaving with a hungry stomach. Her Penang-style cooking also makes me very homesick and I just feel like flying home the next day to satisfy my cravings.

Today, I like to thank Bee of Rasa Malaysia for featuring me as her guest writer. I had chosen sui kow (水饺) as my featured recipe because she loves dumplings. Co-incidentally, it is also my childhood favourite. I had never got bored eating it even until now. Hopefully by sharing my hubby’s “self-proclaimed” authentic sui kow recipe, you will love sui kow as much as we do. You can find my write-up and more photos of sui kow at Rasa Malaysia’s blog now. So hop over and see you there!

    Fantastic looking sui kows! I agree that adding the peas is a great idea, my po po always added peas into her sui kows…a burst of sweetness when you bite into them!

  3. Nazarina A says:

    This is just beautiful!

    I agree that coriander is a must ingredient for sui kow as I have been brought up with this version:) I can have 4-5 pieces with my full bowl of wanton noodles!

  5. Selba says:

    Mycookinghut: Lee Mei, I am used to moving home but the worst experience was moving over to Spore. With last min notice & tight deadline, I did it all by myself. Start packing after my son went to bed until 2am every night. Many unforeseen circumstances happened in between. I was so stressed out until I lost 5 kg in weight.

    Dear,

    Thank you for sharing all those yummy recipe! Really appreciate it 😉

    I can’t find the Sui Kow recipe in the Rasa Malaysia web.. do you mind share here?

    After reading your blog, i felt that you kids are so ‘xin ku’ to have mother like you… I must start to learn now my for boy.. he is now 17months.. poor him everyday having the same food.. so 惭愧 le..

    • food-4tots says:

      Suzanne: Thanks for dropping by and your sweet comment. So sorry that I can’t share this recipe in my blog b’cos it is a featured post. Anyway, I had inserted a link for the recipe in this post. Please check it out.

      I only started cooking when my son was 2.5 yrs old. So you are still not late if you start to learn now. I’m sure you can do better than me. 加油!

    I saw ur post on rasa malaysia and they looked so tempting. However I am attempting to deep fry them. If so how long should i fry them for; or just until they golden brown? I plan to serve it with a sweet and sour dip.

    • food-4tots says:

      Lilian: Thanks for hopping over and your kind words. I’m not an expert in deep-frying and never deep fry these sui kow before. But you can give it a try. If you want to deep fry them, use lesser mixture (abt 60%) and flatten them slightly during wrapping. It will ensure that the inside is cooked when the outer skin is golden brown. Hope this helps. Looking forward to your feedback after trying it out. 😉

  27. lilian says:

    Thanks, i may want to boil half of them too just to see which is better. May i know why u boil them in water and not the broth?

    • food-4tots says:

      Lilian: Boiling sui kow in water is to get rid the unpleasant alkaline and flour taste from the sui kow skin. That’s why I don’t use broth. I guess it is the same reason for cooking noodles too. Correct me if I’m wrong. Let me know which method you prefer. Happy trying!! 😉

  28. JC says:

    Tried making this and it is absolutely yummy! I prepared a noodle soupy version using chicken stock and shanghai noodle. thanks. For the recipe…cooking has never been so interesting!

    • food-4tots says:

      JC: Thanks so much for your kind words! That’s also how we usually paired our sui kows. Besides that, we also added some blanched Hong Kong choi sum. Maybe you can try it in your next attempt. 😉

    Hi hi,

    It’s me again! Just wanted to compliment you on a great shrimp dumpling recipe. Your tips and suggestions were so helpful for amateur me 🙂 I made these flavourful cuties for dinner last night and the hubby enjoyed them tremendously. And my toddler girl also ate them for dinner too.

    I’m eyeing at your sushi recipe now… 😀 Thought it would be fun finger food for my girl.

    Thanks again for sharing such wonderful recipes, ideas and tips, not to mention tasteful photographs. 🙂

    I love sui kow very much . I use turnips instead of water chestnuts. By the way can i deep fry it ?

  31. Peisan says:

    Would like to know if it’s possible to refrigerate the leftover uncooked shui jiao for later use?

  32. SL says:

    May I know where did you get the dumpling wrappers and which brand?
