Waiting for a cook
Mauritius
Boulettes are the steamed dumplings sold from carts and street stalls all over Mauritius, and boulette chouchou is the best loved of them: grated chouchou (chayote) bound with starch and a little dried shrimp, rolled into balls and steamed. The Sino-Mauritian community, who brought the dish, call it niouk yen. It is eaten from a paper cup with chilli sauce, or dropped into a clear broth as a light meal.
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 11 ingredients and 8 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
