Ingredients

For the dough

  • 200 g all purpose flour
  • 100 ml water

For the filling

  • 200 g ground pork
  • 100 g shrimp finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 inch ginger minced
  • 2 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 spring onions finely chopped

For the toppings

  • 3 tablespoon lemongrass chilli oil homemade recipe on the website!
  • 10 g chives finely sliced

Instructions

  • To make the dumpling dough, add the flour and water to a bowl and stir using chopsticks or a fork until a ball forms. Then knead the dough to further form the ball (the dough shouldn't stick to your hands, if it is, add a sprinkling of flour). Wrap in plastic wrap/cling film and set aside.
  • In another bowl, add in the ground pork, finely chopped raw prawns, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, sugar, ground black pepper, and spring onions. Stir to combine until a rough paste has formed. Set aside.
  • Dust your surface with a sprinkling of flour and then knead your dough for 30 seconds. Then, make a hole in the centre of the dough and stretch into a large donut, and then slice the circle to form a long sausage log. Slice into 20 equal pieces.
  • Grab a piece of dough and press down with the palm of your hand, then roll out the dough into a thin 3-4 inch diameter wrapper. Repeat for all the dough pieces. Don't massively overlap the wrappers or place them on top of each other as they'll stick together.
  • Place a heaped teaspoon of the filling into the centre of a wrapper and fold in half to seal. Repeat for all the dumplings.
  • Cook the dumplings in boiling water for 6 minutes. Remove and drain from the pan and divide between 2 bowls.
  • While your dumplings are cooking, prepare the homemade lemongrass chilli oil (you can totally use store-bought chilli oil if you'd like!).
  • Top your hot dumplings with chilli oil and chives. Serve up and enjoy!
