Sui Kow Soup (with noodles) | Water dumpling | 水饺
Description
A traditional Cantonese-style comfort meal that is both hearty and light. This dish features plump, fan-shaped "Water Dumplings" (Sui Kow) that are larger and more substantial than standard wontons. The filling is a savory, tender blend of minced chicken seasoned with ginger, sesame oil, and a touch of Szechuan chili sauce for a subtle depth of flavor. In this home-style preparation, the dumplings are boiled until they float like little clouds, and the cooking liquid—infused with the essence of the dumplings—is transformed into a flavorful broth. Served with slippery glass noodles (mung bean threads) and fresh leafy greens like bok choy or cabbage, it is a complete, nourishing meal that perfectly balances silky textures with clean, aromatic flavors.
Ingredients:
Instructions
-
Add the minced chicken to a bowl along with the condiments, fresh ginger, fried garlic, freshly chopped herbs, pepper, and salt.
-
Mix with a fork - just till nicely combined - without overmixing. (Overmixing will cause the filling to lose some of its soft, tender, and moist quality.)
-
Take one Sui Kow dumpling pastry wrapper at a time and lightly moisten the edges.
-
Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center.
-
Gently fold over and align the moist edges. Pleat by first pinching the center and then pleating towards this pinched center, from both ends. (Refer to Video). This makes a sort of fan-shaped dumpling. Pleat into any simple dumpling shape. Only practice makes perfect...
-
As you fill and wrap all the dumplings, place them on a tray lined with non-stick parchment paper, so that they don't touch each other.
-
Use a wide-based pot about 2/3 filled with water. Bring to a boil.
-
Add the dumplings, one by one, to the boiling water. Give them a swirl every now and then, so that they do not stick to the bottom of the pot. Do this in two or three batches according to the capacity of your pot.
-
Once the first batch is added, give it a swirl once more, and bring it back to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 8 minutes. Swirl occasionally. The dumplings will have swollen up and float to the surface when they are done.
-
Remove with a wide slotted spoon and set them aside on a nonstick pan or a greased tray(to prevent sticking to each other, causing breakage). Repeat with the next batch of dumplings.
-
As long as the remaining water from boiling the dumplings is not super starchy, just top this up with boiled water to make the soup. It contains great flavor. But depending on your dumpling skins, sometimes the water will be too murky, in which case, you want to use fresh water or homemade stock.
-
I simply top up the boiling dumpling water and then add in the glass noodles and boil till cooked. I also add soup seasoning powder to taste. Also, add some soy sauce(1 -2 tsp) to season.
-
Once seasoned just right and the noodles are cooked, add some fresh Bok choy, Choy sum, or even Cabbage leaves. Cook just till the leaves are tender.
-
Return the dumplings while plating into bowls, garnished with chopped spring onion greens or chives
-
Serve with any of your favorite dipping sauces. (Popular, is light soy combined with sesame oil and minced ginger, and black rice vinegar).
Note
- To make a non-alcoholic meat marinade, smash a small piece of ginger and 1/4 tsp Sichuan peppercorns together and steep in 3 Tbsp of hot water for 20 minutes. Strain and use. In some recipes, I also substitute it with liquid meat tenderizer.
- Szechuan Sauce recipe
- Fried garlic can be stored in airtight jars, to be used as a seasoning in so many Asian dishes. You can also find it ready-made in your Asian food section.
