Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Prawns, peeled and deveined
- 50 grams Water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 3 stalks Spring onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornflour
- 30 pieces Dumpling wrappers
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 60 milliliters Water
Instructions
Chop the prawns into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add the chopped water chestnuts, spring onions, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornflour, salt, and black pepper to the prawns. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Lay out the dumpling wrappers on a flat surface. Place about a teaspoon of the prawn filling in the center of each wrapper.
Dip your finger in the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges together to seal, ensuring no air is trapped inside.
Bring a steamer pot of water to a boil. Place the dumplings in the steamer basket, making sure they do not touch each other.
Cover and steam the dumplings over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.
Carefully remove the steamed dumplings from the basket and serve them hot with a side of soy sauce or a dipping sauce of your choice.
