Method

Step 1

Preparing the filling

• Very finely chop spring onions, garlic and ginger.

• Mix together all ingredients except wraps in a large bowl. If it's too wet add a little more tapioca flour.

Step 2

Assembling the dumplings

• Lie out the wrappers and place a teaspoon of filling in the centre of each.
• Using a pastry brush, brush the edge of each wrapper with a little water to help glue together.
• Fold bottom edge to top edge and press together firmly along edges ensuring there is no air trapped inside and a good seal is formed.

Step 3

Cooking the dumplings

• Lightly salt and oil a pot of water and bring to boil.
• Boil dumplings for 4 minutes.
• Serve with soy sauce or char sui.
