How to Make Purple Flower Dumplings (Chor Muang) ช่อม่วง - Hot Thai Kitchen

Kicking off 2021 with the most beautiful thing I've ever made! Thanks to Skillshare for sponsoring the video. The first 1000 people to use the link will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: skl.sh/pailinskitchen01211
These traditional Thai appetizers are made from a tender and slightly chewy gluten-free dough made from rice flour, arrowroot starch, and glutinous rice flour (so yes, gluten-free!). The filling is made with pork and peanuts, but chicken can also be used. The purple colour comes from butterfly pea flowers. They are gorgeous AND tasty, but they're a ton of work. Would you make something like this??

As somebody who grew up eating Thai food, I love these kinds of recipes because they are for special occasions and rarely eaten. They also show an elegant side to Thai cuisine, where the presentation takes it up a notch. I would love to give this a try perhaps for the holidays at the end of the year or for a dinner party sometime.

[@mikerodanyc]

I always order these at NYC's Thai Villa (when they are not sold out) I order 4 orders every time lol of the vegetarian ones, they are so pretty to look at and so delicious. One day I'll use your recipe and attempt to make them myself. Thank you for taking the time to film this. BTW Ive learned how to cook at home all my favorite Thai dishes which kept us happy during the shutdown when all our amazing Thai restaurants were closed in NYC

[@LalaMontenegro1]

Oddly enough, I've learn about this dessert watching Until We Meet Again, a Thai BL series. 😍 I went to research it and made a batch for myself, although I felt I needed to taste the actual dish in Thailand someday soon.

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

This is not a dessert.

I was literally just looking for rice-wrapper dumplings because I have to go gluten free for a while, so this is so perfect!!! I also had them once in NYC when I was in high school, and could never recall what they're called, but I did remember that they're delicious :)

[@JULOC05]

You are awesome. It's nice to see a cook on You Tube who weighs the ingredients and the dough, shows the products to buy for those of us who may not be familiar with them, and mentions variations and what is considered traditional.

[@shinjuya]

As a Thai, in my opinion this one is such a classy food. I can barely​ see at streetside. If my memory​ serves me right, ever since I was born I had this food only one time. There's​ another​ food​ which​ is​ similar to this one called SA KU SAI MOO. (Tapioca dumpling)​ The filling is same with this one. I think her next clip might be Tapioca dumpling, because she still have leftover fillings. Let's​ see!

[@thungo5360]

Wow! this is so interesting! The color is stunning! Watching this video is so therapeutic for some reasons, especially the flower forming part! (I mean it could go either way, joy from making beautiful flower dumplings or stress steaming from the top of your head from ruining the dough!). Anyway, thank you as always and happy new year to your family and Adams too!

[@alexabirdwing]

I can’t stop thinking about the steamer popping into frame 😂 can’t wait to try to make this!

[@DeboraSolnik]

My brother and I just made this filling recipe to eat as a normal stir fry, but with a few twists: we used diced eggplant and zucchini instead of meat, brown instead of palm sugar (we also used much less sugar since we wouldn't form balls with this -- I eyeballed it, probably around 1-2 tablespoons), soy sauce instead of fish sauce, plus a splash of vinegar. It turned out sooo good!!! Savory and sweet, with a bit of a mild heat that builds up as you eat it. The white peppercorn + garlic + cilantro stems paste is absolutely delicious and it goes super well with the crushed peanuts and sesame seeds!! Thank you Pailin for this recipe :) I can't even imagine how tasty those dumplings must be, that dough looks incredible

[@SweetandMellow999]

Yay! My request has been granted! I remember requesting for this dumpling, because you made first Thai Royal dish from someone gifting you a recipe book. :) Thank you Pai! Happy New Year to you and your love ones. Wishing you health and happiness!

[@susansparke3462]

I had come across butterfly pea flour on Amazon one day and saved it to my "foods and cooking" list because I thought that it was such a beautiful color, (blue has always been my favorite color) but I didn't know how people used it, other than as a natural food dye. This is the first recipe that I've seen to utilize this intriguing ingredient and you even used the actual flowers!!! Your dumplings looked very, very beautiful!!!

[@silvermeasuringspoons6462]

Traditionally, the butterfly pea flowers are also heavily used as hair products like hair treatment. My grandma mix it with kaffir lime for shampoos.

[@susansparke3462]

@@silvermeasuringspoons6462 Does it give the hair a bluish tint? I'd imagine that it would look quite pretty on ladies with dark brown/black hair. I'm a natural blonde and a very pale one at that, (as a child my hair was nearly white) so I'd imagine that putting that gorgeously colored butterfly pea "tonic" would have a very different effect on someone with my coloring. Do the butterfly peas have much of an aroma or scent? I'm trying to imagine that with the lime... :)

[@tangt4860]

Pailin! Finally you made it -my top favourite snack in Thailand . Used to be available in limited quantities at SP outlets but they stopped completely a few years ago and then fine dining restaurants moved in and charged an arm and a leg for one piece portion.

Absolutely delicious, made it twice in the last few days!!
