Servings 24 Dumplings

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

  1. The recipe can be easily doubled to make extra dumplings for a larger gathering or party.
  2. Freeze uncooked dumplings, then simply steam from frozen (allow extra cooking time).
  3. Wonton wrappers and Shaoxing wine are available from the supermarket or Asian grocery.

Our retail shop in Yamba is now CLOSED

Thank you to everyone who has supported us during the past 17 years. It’s been a fantastic experience but it’s time for new adventures!

Our retail store is now CLOSED. However, there’s a small selection of products available via our online store, all at 50% off. You’ll need to apply this code at the checkout – CLOSINGDOWN25.

We’d like to continue to offer cooking classes and other local food experiences, but first some time off to rest and rejuvenate! We’ll share updates here on the website, in our newsletter, and on Instagram and Facebook.

Meredith’s food tours for 2025 are unaffected by the shop’s closure. The tours to Umbria and Morocco are fully booked, however there are spots available on our fabulous Sicily tour in October 2025.

We hope to connect with you sometime soon.
