Method

1. BEGIN BY PREPARING ALL DUMPLING INGREDIENTS IN A MIXING BOWL, REMOVING THE DUMPLING WRAPPERS FROM THE BOWL. MIX DUMPLING MIX THROUGHLY, ADDING SALT & PEPPER TO YOUR LIKING. ADD CORNFLOUR SLURRY TO A SMALL RAMEKIN AND PREPARE A LARGE PLATE / TRAY TO PLACE THE DUMPLINGS ONCE WRAPPED

2. HOLD WRAPPER IN YOUR HAND - DIPPING YOUR FINGERS IN THE WATER AND RUNNING AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE WRAPPER TO MAKE IT SLIGHTLY MOIST. ADD A SMALL SPOONFUL AND FOLD EACH SIDE OF THE WRAPPER INWARDS. EITHER PRESS TO CLOSE AND CREATE A ROUNDED SHAPE OR FOLD TOGETHER AND USE YOUR MIDDLE FINGER TO PRESS THE PASTRY INWARDS - CREATING FLAPS YOU’LL ENCLOSE INWARDS, AS THOUGH YOU’RE WRAPPED A PRESENT. THE FIRST METHOD DESCRIBED IS BEST FOR PAN FRYING, THE SECOND FOR STEAMING

3. IN EITHER A BAMBOO STEAMER OR NORMAL STEAMER (IF YOU DON’T HAVE ONE YOU CAN USE A LARGE POT WITH A COLANDER PLACED OVER AND SOME BAKING PAPER SITTING IN THE COLANDER SO THE DUMPLINGS DON’T STICK) COOK FOR 5 MINUTES ONCE WATER IS BOILING

4. IF YOU’RE OPTING FOR PAN FRYING - HEAT LARGE FRY PAN ON MEDIUM. ADD A TABLESPOON OF VEGETABLE OIL ALLOWING IT TO HEAT. ADD DUMPLINGS - COOKING FOR 3 MINUTES OR UNTIL CRISPY ON THE BOTTOM. ADD 2 TBSP BOILING WATER AND COVERING WITH LID TO STEAM SLIGHTLY FOR 2 MINUTES OR SO

5. ASSEMBLE A SERVING PLATTER FOR DUMPLINGS. PREPARE DIPPING SAUCE IN A SMALL BOWL AND SET ASIDE.

6. IN THE FRY PAN FROM THE DUMPLINGS, ADD BOK CHOY WITH THE GARLIC AND GINGER ALONGSIDE A SPLASH OF TAMARI FROM THE RAMEKIN AND WILT FOR A MINUTE OR TWO. SERVE WITH DUMPLINGS - ENJOY !
