Ingredients
- small bunch chives
- 250g pack pork mince
- 100g raw prawn, finely chopped
- ½ a 220g can water chestnut
- 1 - 2 tbsp soy sauce, to taste
- knob of ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 18 wonton wrappers (see Know-how)
Method
- STEP 1
Mix half of the chives and all of the filling ingredients together. You can also include a teaspoon of Shaoxing rice wine and ground white pepper with the mixture if you like. Spread 1 heaped tbsp of filling onto each wonton skin and spread out a little.
- STEP 2
Bring the wrapper up and around the pork until you have a small, firmly-packed dumpling with an open top. Repeat with the rest of the mix. Can be made up to a day ahead.
- STEP 3
Steam the dumplings for 10 mins until the wrappers are translucent. Top with remaining chives and serve with dipping sauce.
