Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams pork mince
- 200 grams shrimp, peeled and finely chopped
- 150 grams cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon cornflour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
- 30 pieces dim sim wrappers
- 2 cups water, for steaming
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork mince, chopped shrimp, shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and green onions.
Add the minced ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornflour, salt, and white pepper to the mixture. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Place a dim sim wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling, sealing and pleating the edges to form a semi-circular shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Prepare a steamer by bringing 2 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high, ensuring the water is at a gentle boil.
Place the dim sims in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching to prevent sticking together.
Cover the steamer with a lid and steam the dim sims for 10–12 minutes or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.
Serve the steamed dim sims hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
