♠ Weekend Mood

Last weekend I had been cooking up a couple dishes.

Was hoping to make dumpling soup, but bought the wrong flour for the skin.

Ended up making tong yuan with nutella chocolate inside.

Didnt wrap the tong yuan nicely at first, some of the chocolate dripped out, added more color to the soup tho.

After couple of tries, able to make a little pouch to drip those nutella richness and wrap up without any choco goodness showing.

Planning to make black sesame tong yuan, but need to crush the seeds first, thus diverted.

Hey, got lemon, make lemonade.

Diced ginger to pieces and made ginger soup with sugar added and around 20 tong yuan. Finished all by myself cos my house owner never really touched anything I cook, muahaha.

Then made fried dumplings.

Bought some minced meat, add in salt, oyster sauce, dark soya souce, pepper, diced ginger and onion leaves.

Bought some wontan skin to wrap those meat and stuff.

Then fry.

Pretty good I might add.

The dumplings kinda hav little soup in them, and when dip in thai chilli sauce, fabulous.

Ate with rice and other side dishes.

Actually wanted to do dumpling soup; cravings.

Then ar, nary a bone in sight. And I couldnt take another walk down the morning market to get the stuff cos I've walked twice already.

Will try to make dumplings again this coming weekend, especially in the morning when there's nobody at home.

Auntie went out to work half day, the children have their own school or friends activities.

So I got whole morning to myself.

Wanna try out dry toufu skin as replacement for dumpling skin.

Then wanna try to make fish paste from scratch, see if I still remember or not.

Or get prawns. Hmm..will see how my mood fares.
