This Chinese classic is great for preparing in advance and steaming just before serving to dinner guests.
Full preparation
-
Combine all the ingredients together except the pastry.
-
Place one teaspoon of the pork mixture along a dumpling pastry. Wet half the pastry circle with your finger from a small bowl of water.
-
Fold the pastry in half and press tightly together.
-
Pinch one side of the pastry together to create two folds.
-
Heat a non-stick pan with enough sesame oil to lightly cover the pan and fry the base of the dumplings until golden brown.
-
Add 4 tbsp of water to the pan and add a lid or tin foil to create a seal. Let the dumplings steam for about 5-7 minutes (keep adding water if it dries up) or until they become slightly translucent.
-
Serve with a bowl of soy sauce and garnish with chopped spring onion.
