Sui Kow (Dumplings) with QPC wasabi mayo red pepper sauce - Featured in Group Recipes

My Mum's sui kow is awesome and the traditional way is to eat it with soup or deep fried.  A nights ago, I could not sleep and then my mind started to race with all kinds of food.  Then I craved for sui kow.  The first thing I got up the next morning is to ask Mum to go to the market to buy all the ingredients to make sui kow.  I told Mum I have an idea to use her sui kow in a Western way. I want to come up with a anti pasto with it. When we returned from the market, Mum started to make the sui kow and I started to experiment with the sauce to served with it.  

Here is the result.

METHOD FOR COOKING:

Boil a pot of water and add all the dumplings in and cook for 10 mins.  You will know that the dumpling is cooked when the wrapper is tansparent or the prawn inside looks pinkish. Usually when th dumplings float to the surface of the water, they are cooked.           

METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING:

Place a handful of bean sprout shoots on the serving plate, lay dumplings on it. Springkle with walnuts.   Serve with the sauce on the side.

The way to eat this is put a piece of walnut and some bean spout shoots in your mouth with each bite of the sui kow.  mmmm.... YUM! YUM!
