Sui Kow Recipe (Dumplings /水饺)
Guest Writer: Food 4 Tots

I would like to introduce you to a special guest blogger today, Food 4 Tots, who happens to be my high schoolmate in Penang. What a small word!  Food 4 Tots is an awesome food blog with recipes meant for toddlers. Every time I read the blog, I drool over the homey and delicious dishes and secretly jealous of her 4-year old and wish that I am eating at her dining table every day. Please welcome Food 4 Tots to Rasa Malaysia as she shares her sui kow (Chinese dumplings) recipe with us.

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 through 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 through reading her posting. Each time I visit 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…(get step-by-step sui kow recipe after the jump)

Tom Yum Recipe (Tom Yum Goong)

Born and raised in a tropical island, I am all about sun and warmth. I absolutely dread cold weather and the mere presence of sun lights me up like a glowing stick. I am inherently happier and more cheerful when the sun is out.
This month has been mostly cold and wet–lots of rain, cloudy, and yucky. I feel moody when…

Potstickers Recipe (Chinese Dumplings)

(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!)
When I was compiling my Chinese New Year recipes, I came to realize that I don’t have a potsticker recipe on Rasa Malaysia. Why haven’t I posted my recipe for potstickers–the ubiquitous Chinese dumplings that are well-loved by so many people in the world–on a site that is supposedly about Asian recipes and cooking?!
I…

Deep-Fried Fish and Seafood Galore

Deep-Fried Fish and Seafood Galore

One of the things that I miss most about Malaysia is the availability of various kinds of little fishes in the market; little fishes that I grew up eating, little fishes that need no special recipes, little fishes that taste like heaven when deep-fried with just a little salt and turmeric powder or tamarind, little fishes that are so crispy…

(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!)
I love shrimp, so much so that I eat shrimp almost every day–in my stir-fry’s, noodles, take-outs, fried rice, curries, etc. Shrimp is the easiest seafood to find and widely available. Plus, unlike common beliefs, they are not too expensive, if you know where to buy them. For me, the frozen 5 lb. version…

Vietnamese Sugar Cane Shrimp (Chao Tom) Recipe

Vietnamese Sugar Cane Shrimp (Chao Tom) Recipe

I’d never tried Vietnamese food before I came to the United States. There was no Vietnamese restaurant in my hometown and Vietnamese cuisine had never crossed my mind. Then, Thai food was the only exotic food I knew.
I first tasted Vietnamese food when I was attending graduate school in the Midwest. Stuck in the middle-of-no-where AKA Fargoland, Vietnamese food was…
