Ingredients
- 200g pork mince
- 100g prawn meat, diced
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh chives
- 1 Tbsp minced ginger
- 1 tsp + 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp + ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp fish sauce
- 20-24 dumpling wrappers
- 1 spring onion, finely sliced
Method
- In a bowl, combine the pork mince, diced prawn meat, chives, ginger, sesame oil, soy and fish sauce. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Take one dumpling wrapper, and use your finger to wet the edges with water. Take 1 heaped teaspoon of filling and place in the center of the wrapper, and fold or stick together as desired.
- To steam, place in a bamboo steamer over simmering water, and steam for 6-8 minutes or until cooked through.
- To pan fry, place a non stick frying pan over a medium heat. Drizzle with oil, then arrange the dumplings into the pan. Fill with water until the level reaches halfway up the dumpling. Bring to a boil, then cover with a lid and leave to steam for 3-4 minutes. Remove the lid, and cook for a further 2-3 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the dumpling bases and golden.
- To make the dipping sauce, stir together the remaining sesame oil, soy sauce and sliced spring onion. Serve immediately, or freeze the uncooked dumplings on a lined tray then package into a container.
