Chicken & Shitake Dumplings

Healthy and a perfect meal! Pair with your favorite rice and veggies! A must make!

RECIPE:

3 dried shiitake mushrooms

250g chicken mince

3 spring onions, white part only, finely chopped

1 garlic clove, crushed

2 teaspoons grated ginger

2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves

1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder

2 teaspoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon honey

16 round wonton wrappers


For the chicken & shiitake dumplings, soak mushrooms in boiling water for 10 minutes or until soft. Drain, then finely chop. Combine all filling ingredients in a bowl and season with 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.


Place the wonton wrappers on a clean surface and cover with a damp cloth so they do not dry out. Working with a few at a time, place a teaspoon of the filling in the centre of each wrapper.

Using a pastry brush, brush the edges of each wrapper with a little water.

Fold each wrapper in half, enclosing the filling to form a semicircle. Pinch the edges of each wrapper together to form a frill. Alternatively, bring in 3 sides of each wrapper to join at the centre, to form a triangle-shaped dumpling.

Line a steamer (bamboo or metal) with baking paper. Half fill a wok or steamer base with water (the steamer holding the dumplings shouldn't touch the water) and bring to the boil. Cooking in batches, place 6-8 dumplings in the steamer, place over boiling water and cover with a lid. Steam for 8 minutes or until cooked through.

For the dipping sauce, place all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine.

Serve dumplings warm with dipping sauce
