Bakwan Malang (Mixed Dumplings Soup à la Malang-English)

Bakwan Malang is a dish native to the East Java Province in Indonesia. Malang is the name of a city there. It is a very common dish that is sold by many street vendors; and it`s a comforting dish that would warm up our tummies during cold weather. Bakwan Malang consists many things such as Fried/Boiled Wonton filled with chicken & shrimps; served with Meat Stuffed Tofu, Noodles & Indonesian Beef Meatballs in soupy broth. You can also serve the soup with any additional treats you like such as Fried Meatballs & Fried/Steamed Siu Mai dumpling. For other complementary, you may add sliced Celery leaves/Green onions & green mustard cabbage, Preserved radish, fried onions, chili sauce & sweet soy sauce when desired. To make it easier & quicker, you can just buy the beef meatballs, filled wonton & siu mai at any Asian grocers close to your house. However, I like making my own beef meatballs, wonton & especially the Siu May since the one we use for Bakwan malang is slightly different with the Chinese siu may that they sell in Asian grocers. Usually I make the meatballs & other dumplings ahead & then store them in the freezer. Below I only wrote about how to make the tapioca siu mai & how to prepare the Bakwan malang. Just click on the link I provide below if you want to make the other complements yourself. To make the soup, read the soup recipe on Stuffed Tofu Soup. Useful recipe Links:
