Method

Step 1

To make the Dumpling Filling: In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together.

Step 2

To make the dumplings: Wet the edge of a dumpling wrapper. Place a teaspoonful of the filling in the middle of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a semi-circle. Pinch the sides of the wrapper to seal the mixture. Crimp the seal with your fingers to form pleats, or use a fork. Stand the dumpling, seam side up, on a tray lined with baking paper. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers, keeping the dumplings separate on the tray to avoid them sticking together.

Step 3

Line a bamboo or metal steamer with baking paper. Steam the dumplings over boiling water for 10-12 minutes or until they are tender and filling is cooked. Remove from the steamer and stand for 1-2 minutes before serving them with the dipping sauce.

Step 4

To make the dumplings crispy. Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan. Place the steamed dumplings seam side up into the pan and cook over a medium heat until the bases are golden and crispy.

Step 5

To make the Sweet Chilli Dipping Sauce: Whisk the ingredients together.

Tips

Dumplings can be frozen. Place on a tray lined with baking paper, seam side up. Once frozen, pack into sealable plastic bags. Cook the dumplings from frozen. Cooking time will be 13-15 minutes. Dumplings can be frozen for up to 1 month.
