Making "chai kueh"

I told my neighbour aunty that i wanted to learn to make "chai kueh" a few days back. "Chai Kueh" is a - a type of vegetable dumpling dish by the Teochew clan, made from turnip, carrots, mushroom, dried prawns and wrapped lovingly in glutinous flour wrap thingy.. =o Whenever she makes some, she'll graciously give some to us. And her "chai kueh" is superb! =)

So i had my first lesson at her house yesterday, and it was fun. =) As i watched her and got my hands dirty learning each step, the end result was quite satisfying. We made almost 50 dumplings. Mine didn't look as nice and intricate as hers.. but it was nonetheless a fun experience.
