​Khanom Cho Muang or Khanom Chor Muang (Thai: ช่อม่วง), sometimes translated as Thai flower dumpling, is a traditional appetiser in Thailand. Khanom Jeab Nok (Thai: จีบนก) is the name given to a bird dumpling. Originally they were served to royalty as far back as King Rama II 200 yrs ago.

The steamed dumplings can have either a savoury or sweet stuffing usually with seasoned meat filling, such as shrimp, fish, pork, or chicken fried with coriander root, garlic, and pepper. The exterior batter is coloured with such things as butterfly pea blossoms (blue), beetroot (red) or pandan leaves (green). Food colouring works just as well.

Once the stuffing and batter are combined and rolled into a ball each dumpling is crafted with tweezers into a flower and or bird.

The stuffing is rather simple to make, although the batter takes a little longer to create and colour.
Once steamed they are stunning to look at with their beautiful shapes and the best part is they are delicious.

Thai Steamed Dumpling: Khanom Jeab
METHOD:
For the filling
  1. Grind white pepper, coriander root and garlic gloves together.
  2. Place ground spices into a pan over medium heat and add cooking oil.
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients browning the onions first then stirring everything together for about 10 minutes.
  4. Transfer into a bowl and let cool.
​For the dumpling skin
  1. Mix the flours together then separate into bowls for colouring. Then pour some water and coconut milk and colour stirring to mix.
  2. Pour into a pan over low heat and stir until water has evaporated and it is doughy.
  3. Place into a bowl to cool while covering with a damp towel so not to dry out
  4. Knead with flour till the dough is no longer sticky to your hand and is soft.
  5. Roll them long so you can cut sections off about the same size.
​For the dumplings
  1. Take your cut sections and form into a small ball. Flatten the ball and add a teaspoonful of filling in the centre and then squeeze into shape.
  2. Next, using tweezers, form the ball into a flower or bird
  3. Place in the steamer. Drench with some water before steaming over medium heat for about 8 – 10 minutes. (use the excess oil from your crispy fried garlic to coat the bottom of the steamer so dumplings won’t stick)
  4. Pat some oil before taking them out of the steamer using a brush.
  5. Serve with crispy fried garlic, chillies and lettuce
