Shrimp Dumpling Soup

Now for the 2nd part of the Exam Saga weekend. Continuing from the Chicken Rice recipe saga, with the chicken broth from the chicken rice, the next best thing is on how best to utilize the chicken broth.

The good thing is the Mummy always think ahead of time.. ** Mummy 's motto of reuse ** and bought some Dumpling wraps or the Wanton skins as well, so that the chicken broth can be used as the soup base for the dumplings.

So for the Shrimp Dumpling recipe , here it is again, not forgetting the ever-helperful son Vic. To get him away from the elder brother Vin, what better way than for him to help me ;-)
