Prawn and Spring Onion Dumplings

Dumplings is an Asian dimsum appetizer and it is very similar to siomai. They can be steamed or fried depending on your preference. This dumpling recipe I have is steamed and composed of prawns and spring onion and of course some spices and flavorings. You can also use chives which is very similar to spring onion in appearance and taste. Spring onions is readily available than chives so I prefer to use it than chives. To make prawn and spring onion dumplings; In a bowl, mix well to combine the prawns, onions, garlic, cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil and egg. Place a teaspoonful of prawn mixture into each wonton wrapper. Brush edges with water.
