Ingredients

• 200 grams King oyster mushrooms
• 1 sheet Nori sheets
• 50 grams Chickpea flour
• 60 ml Water
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 2 stems Spring onions, chopped
• 24 pieces Dim sum wrappers (vegan)
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by finely shredding the king oyster mushrooms. These will serve as the base texture of your 'shrimp'.

Step 2

2. Soak the nori sheet in water until soft, then blend it into a paste. Combine this with shredded mushrooms to create a sea-like aroma and flavor.

Step 3

3. In a small mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour with 60 ml of water to create a batter.

Step 4

4. In a hot pan, add sesame oil and sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant, then add the mushroom and nori mixture. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

5. Add soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Stir well until combined, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 6

6. Once cool, mix the chickpea batter into the mushroom mixture thoroughly.

Step 7

7. Place a dim sum wrapper in your palm and add a teaspoon of filling in the center. Wet the edges with a bit of water, fold, and pleat to seal each dumpling.

Step 8

8. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. This will be used to seal any loose edges in the wrapper.

Step 9

9. Lightly brush the cornstarch mixture on the bottom of each dumpling before placing it in a steamer lined with parchment or cabbage leaves.

Step 10

10. Steam the dim sum for 8-10 minutes or until the wrapper becomes translucent and cooked through.

Step 11

11. Serve hot with soy sauce or chili oil for dipping, garnished with chopped spring onions.
