Thai Tapioca Dumplings (Saku Sai Moo Recipe)

Nguyên liệu

• 1 1/2 cups or 10 oz tapioca pearls (see notes)
• 3/4 cup or 3.5 oz peanuts (crushed)
• 1/2 cup or 3.5 oz sweet radish (shredded)
• 3/4 cup or 7 oz ground pork
• 2 tbsp oil
• 3 cilantro roots
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 medium shallots
• 3 tbsp palm sugar
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce

Cách làm

1. 1

   Use a mortar and pestle to pound the coriander roots and garlic into a paste.

2. 2

   Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the pounded mixture and shallots, and sauté until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add ground pork and cook until no longer pink. Stir in palm sugar, soy sauce, white pepper, black pepper, and sweet radish. Cook until the liquid evaporates.

4. 4

   Mix in the peanuts and cook for another 2 minutes. Spread the filling on a tray to cool completely.

5. 5

   Place tapioca pearls in a bowl of lukewarm water and soak for 15 minutes. Drain well.

6. 6

   Once the filling has cooled, roll it into about 60 small balls.

7. 7

   Scoop some tapioca pearls into your palm. Flatten slightly, place a filling ball in the center, and gently press the tapioca around it to seal.

8. 8

   Place the dumplings in a steamer, leaving space between each. Steam for 3–4 minutes, or until translucent.
