Ingredients

  • 175 g Plain Flour
  • 125 ml Boiling Water
  • 110g g Tiger Prawns minced
  • 110 g Tilda Fragrant Jasmine Rice
  • 75 g Chinese Leaves chopped
  • 1 tsp ginger finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic pureed
  • 1/2 tbsp Shaoxing Rice Wine
  • 1/2 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Spring Onions chopped
  • 1 tsp Coriander chopped
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Palm Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sause
  • 1 tbsp White Rice Vinegar
  • 2 tsp Chilli Oil

Instructions

  1. For the dough, place the flour into a large bowl and stir the hot water gradually into it, mixing all the time, until the water is incorporated.
  2. Tip the dough mixture onto a clean work surface and knead it with your hands, dusting the dough with a little flour if it's sticky. Continue kneading until smooth - this should take about eight minutes, then allow to rest for 20 minutes.
  3. For the stuffing, while the dough is resting, combine the stuffing ingredients in a large bowl and mix them together thoroughly.
  4. Shape the dough into a roll about 20cm long and about 2.5cm in diameter, then with a sharp knife, slice the roll into 16 equal-sized pieces and roll each piece into a small ball. With a rolling pin, roll each ball into a small, round, flat 'pancake' - about 9cm in diameter.
  5. Place about two teaspoons of filling in the centre of each 'pancake' and moisten the edges with water. Fold the dough in half and pinch together with your fingers.
  6. Pleat around the edge, pinching with your fingers to seal well. The dumplings should look like a small Cornish pasty with a flat base and rounded top.
  7. To cook, steam in a basket for about 8 minutes. Alternatively, they can be fried.
  8. For the dipping sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl.
