Instructions
- Soak the tapioca sago in ½ cup of water for at least 15-20 minutes. This hydrates the sago and makes it pliable for kneading.
- In a wok or large pan, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped shallots, minced garlic, and minced cilantro roots to the pan. Sauté until the shallots are translucent and fragrant.
- Add the chopped cabbage, carrot, and green beans to the pan. Stir-fry until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain some crispness.
- Season the vegetables with soy sauce and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Remove the filling from the heat and set aside to cool completely.
- Once the sago is soaked, knead it for 2-3 minutes until it forms a smooth, pliable dough.
- Lightly oil your hands. Take a small portion of the dough and flatten it into a thin disc, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
- Place about 1 teaspoon of the cooled vegetable filling in the center of the disc.
- Carefully bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling, forming a ball. Pinch the edges to seal tightly.
- Place the filled dumplings on a lightly oiled plate. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
- Prepare a steamer by lightly oiling the steaming plate. This prevents the dumplings from sticking.
- Steam the dumplings for 15 minutes, or until the sago becomes translucent and the filling is heated through.
- While the dumplings are steaming, prepare the garlic oil. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a small pan. Add the crushed garlic and fry until golden brown and fragrant.
- To serve, carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer. Brush each dumpling with garlic oil and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Avoid using hot water to soak the tapioca pearls, as this can make the dough too sticky. Room temperature water is ideal.
- For the perfect dough, maintain a 1:1 ratio of tapioca pearls to water.
- If the dough is too dry, sprinkle with water and knead again. If it's too wet, add a small amount of soaked tapioca pearls and knead.
- Thicker cilantro stems can be used as a substitute for cilantro roots.
- Dip your hands in water before handling the dough to prevent sticking.
- If the dumplings break during cooking, the tapioca wrapper is likely too thin.
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of salt or sugar to the tapioca dough.
- Experiment with different fillings to customize your dumplings. Savory options include ground meat, vegetables, or shrimp. Sweet fillings like sweetened beans or fruit are also delicious.
- To ensure even cooking, make sure the dumplings are roughly the same size.
Storage Instructions
- These dumplings can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- Reheat in the microwave or steamer before serving.
