Dim Sum (dumplings) - Siew Mai Recipe
This recipe is adapted from a British food programme, "Ching's Kitchen". Chef Ching shows how easy it can be to make dim sums at home and I'm glad I tried it. These dumplings can be steamed, boiled or fried.
Ingredients
- Wantan sheets (available at Asian stores)
- 200gm prawns - shelled, deveined and chopped
- 250gm chicken breast - minced or chopped
- 30g shitaki mushroom (optional) - soaked in boiling water and diced.
- 1 stalk spring onion - finely chopped
- 1 stalk coriander leaves - finely chopped
- Salt & Pepper
- 2 inch ginger - finely minced
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp corn flour
- 1 red chilly - deseeded and finely chopped
- 2 inch carrots (optional) - finely chopped
- Little oil for greasing
- Water (to close wantans if frying)
Directions
- Put all items excluding the wantan sheets in a bowl and mix well.
- Keep it in the fridge for 15 minutes or more.
- Then take a teaspoon and scoop the filling into the wantan sheets and form any shape you like.
- If you wish to fry, just wet the ends of the wantan sheets and close before frying.
- If steaming, grease the plate slightly to avoid the dim sums from sticking on to it and steam for about 15-20 minutes.
- Once done, serve with a sweet chilli sauce and enjoy.
