Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ground pork
- 150 g cabbage
- 1 medium carrot
- 3 stalks green onions (scallions)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)
- 35 pieces wonton wrappers
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 1 cup water (for steaming or sealing wrappers)
Instructions
Finely mince the cabbage, carrot, and green onions. Crush the garlic cloves into a paste.
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, minced cabbage, carrot, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornflour. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until evenly combined.
Set up a clean workspace and defrost the wonton wrappers if they were frozen.
Place a wonton wrapper in the palm of your hand. Add about 1 heaped teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
Lightly dampen the edges of the wrapper with water using your fingers to help seal it.
Carefully pull the edges of the wrapper upwards around the filling, gently pinching and folding the edges to form a pleated pouch. Leave the top slightly open. Repeat for the remaining filling and wrappers.
For steaming: Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent the dim sims from sticking. Arrange the dim sims in a single layer, leaving space between each. Steam over boiling water for 12 minutes, or until cooked through.
For frying: Heat vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or fryer to 180°C (350°F). Carefully lower the dim sims into the oil in small batches and fry for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, or plum sauce for dipping.
