Ingredients
For The Dough
- 300g all purpose flour
- 175ml water
For The Filling
- 200g raw prawns, smashed into a paste
- 200g chicken breast, finely chopped into a paste
- 1 tablespoon finely minced ginger
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
For The Sauce
- 3 tablespoon tahini sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 juice of a lime
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic granules
- 5-10 tablespoon water (depends on how smooth you'd like the sauce)
Garnish
- Chilli oil
- Coriander, roughly chopped
Instructions
For The Dough
- Make your dough by adding your plain flour into a large bowl. Gently add your water and mix the dough with chopsticks or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
- Begin kneading the dough in the bowl until a rough ball forms, then knead it for a further few minutes on a clean surface until a bouncy smooth dough forms.
- Place it in a bowl, cover with clingfilm, and set aside while you make your filling.
For The Filling
- Combine your minced prawn, chicken, ginger, garlic, spring onions, sesame oil, light soy sauce, and honey in a bowl. Mix with a spoon or chopsticks until everything is well combined into a silky paste. Set it aside.
For The Wrappers
- Get your dough ball and poke a hole in the middle. Form a doughnut shape and then cut one side and form it into a long sausage shape. Slice the dough into 25-30 pieces and then roll out each wrapper using a rolling pin into a thin circular wrapper around 3 inches in diameter. Place your wrappers under a damp towel to make sure they don't go dry.
Assemble Your Dumplings
- Place a spoonful of the filling into the centre of the wrapper and fold and seal in a clockwise motion. Repeat this step for every dumpling. Keep the dumplings under a damp towel to ensure they don't go dry.
Steam Your Dumplings
- Drizzle some oil into your pan and place on medium heat. Add in your dumplings and pour in ½ cup of water. Place on your lid and leave to steam for 8-10 minutes. Add in more water if it evaporates. Remove your dumplings after the time is up and get ready to serve up!
Make Your Sauce and Serve Up!
- In a bowl, combine your tahini, sugar, lime juice, light soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic granules, and water to make your sauce. Make sure to taste and adjust based on your preference!
- Pour your sauce onto your serving plate and top with the dumplings, chilli oil, and coriander. Enjoy!
