Additional ingredient can add for complete serving.
Tahu Bakso/Baso (Meat-Stuffed Tofu) Cut to make a small hole on tofus. Fill with the meat paste. Steam until the filling is cooked.
Pangsit Kukus (Steamed Wontons) 1. Lay a wonton wrapper in front of you. Wet the edges. 2. Put 2 to 3 teaspoons of filling in the middle, taking care not to get too close to the edges. Gather up the edges of the wrapper and gently pleat so that it forms a basket shape.
Pangsit Goreng (Fried Wontons) Fried wontons can be with filling or without. If you choose the filling ones, go take a look my previous post (how to make pangsit goreng). No filling, all you need is deep fry the skins.
