Equipment
- 1 Steamer
- 1 Saucepan or Wok
Ingredients
- 150g green prawn meat finely chopped OR 400g of protein (your choice)
- 250g pork mince
- 2 spring onions finely sliced
- 20g ginger finely grated
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 1 tsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp Shaoxing Wine or sherry
- freshly ground pepper to taste
- ½ tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp fresh coriander chopped
- 1 packet square wonton wrappers These can be found at Coles
Dipping Sauce
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 2 tbsp vinegar
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 long red chilli finely sliced
- 1 spring onion finely sliced
Instructions
- Combine filling ingredients, except wonton wrappers, in a bowl and mix well.
- Place a heaped teaspoon of mixture in the centre of the wonton wrapper, moisten the edges with a little water, then bring the corners of the wonton to the centre and pinch to seal. Place on a tray lined with baking paper. Continue until all of the filling mixture has been used.
- Line a steamer basket with baking paper and make a few slits in the paper to allow the steam through. Place the dumplings into the steamer basket and place over a pan/wok of simmering water. Cover with a lid and steam for 12-15 minutes or until tender and filling is cooked through.
- Serve on a platter with dipping sauce. Or for a more authentic presentation, serve them in the steamer basket.
Dipping Sauce
- Combine soy, vinegar and sugar in a bowl and stir to dissolve sugar. Stir through sliced chilli and spring onion.
Notes
- The recipe can be easily doubled to make extra dumplings for a larger gathering or party.
- Freeze uncooked dumplings, then simply steam from frozen (allow extra cooking time).
- Wonton wrappers and Shaoxing wine are available from the supermarket or Asian grocery.
