Chinese dumplings recipe | Good Food

Steamed Chinese dumplings

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.
