Delicious little parcels of pork cooked in boiling water for a few minutes, a great and quick starter or snack. Try them with prawns or minced chicken too. For the dip, I mixed 2 tbsp soy sauce with the juice of 1/2 a lime and a pinch of sugar. The dough can be bought ready made, rolled and cut from Chinese supermarkets.
For the filling
200g lean minced pork, chicken or prawns
2 spring onions, very finely chopped1 clove garlic, grated
1" fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp fish sauce
1/4 tsp shrimp paste
A little salt and pepper
Mix all the filling ingredients together thoroughly and leave in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Put large pan of water on to boil.
Make the dumplings by placing a teaspoon of the pork mixture in the centre of each dough round, wet round the edges and seal with your fingers to make a crescent shape. You can also make little pork purses by wetting the edges of the pastry and bringing them together in the centre.
Cook in batches in the boiling water for a couple of minutes they should then float to the top. Remove them from the water with a slotted spoon.
Serve warm with a dip.
