These Chinese dumplings are filled with pork mince, green onions and fresh ginger before hitting the wok to be deep-fried to a crisp and golden brown. The satisfying experience doesn’t reach its peak until you dip it into our invigorating vinegar and light soy sauce concoction – a mixture that has come through for numerous other Chinese delicacies such as xiao long baos, spring rolls and more.

Ingredients

SOY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps

01.

Combine pork, chives, onion, ginger, sugar, sauce, cooking wine and sesame oil in a large bowl. Place 1 level tbsp of filling in the centre of each wrapper. Moisten the edge of the wrappers with a little water; press and pleat edges together to seal.

02.

Heat the peanut oil in a wok over medium heat until temperature reaches 180 C on a sugar thermometer (or until a small cube of white bread turns golden in about 15 secs). Deep-fry dumplings, in batches, turning until golden. Drain dumplings on paper towel.

03.

Meanwhile, make soy dipping sauce. Combine ingredients in a small bowl.

04.

Thinly slice a couple of green onions length-ways, and place in water. Refrigerate the strips until curled.

05.

Serve dumplings with dipping sauce. Garnish with green onion (scallion) curls.
