Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Ground chicken or pork (lean)
- 1 cup Green cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 medium Carrot, grated
- 2 Spring onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 20 Wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Water (for sealing wrappers)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or pork, shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped spring onions, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
Add the low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and cornstarch to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Prepare a clean work surface and lay out the wonton wrappers. Keep them covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out while assembling.
Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Dip your fingertip in water and lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper.
Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape or bring the edges together at the top to form a dumpling. Pinch to seal tightly.
Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil and lining the steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking.
Place the dim sims in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other. Cover with a lid and steam for 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through.
Serve the steamed dim sims immediately with your favorite low sodium dipping sauce or enjoy plain.
