hi, any mummies out there can share how to make nice prawn dumpling??coz my ds reli love it.

for prawn dumpling, i am particular abt the type of prawns used,
must be sea prawns , not pond prawns for the best results.

juz like making Har kow, must use special type of prawns.

I’ll just soak them in water. Change the water at least once thereafter rinse, drip dry and slice.


When not cut won’t be slimy what. And I learned from my helper. Keep it dry when you are slicing it then not as slimy.

use cloth ??won't it stick to the cloth

but i hate to wash lady's finger, so slimy.....yucky

OMG, I simply rinse under the tap and start cutting.
The skin is quite funny, it may have something sharp. Yes, inside is slimy, like mucus !

ya, i also run under the tap, using the knife to \"scrub\"
although hard to prepare, i like this simple veg with balacan.

Yes, the skin looks dirty and thus I ask how do mums handle them.
Anyway, I have been doing so for years and so far, no obvious diarrhoea.

:lol: So are you one of those who will scrub each individual cockles until the shell is white if you were to prepare blanched xi hum?

Haha. My mum is one of those, she will use tooth brush to scrub each cockle. Each shell was pristine white after that.

Me I am more concerned about the unseens, like traces of pesticides, that's why I soak my vege. One of my staff who is quite elderly and used to run a cap chye beng stall told me to add salt to the water used for soaking veges. She say kill bacteria as well as remove pesticides. Dunno how effective though.
