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
Directions
Step 1
Chop the prawns into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Lay out the dumpling wrappers on a flat surface. Place about a teaspoon of the prawn filling in the center of each wrapper.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Bring a steamer pot of water to a boil. Place the dumplings in the steamer basket, making sure they do not touch each other.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
