Instructions

To make the dumpling filling mix all the ingredients together.
Wet the edge of a dumpling wrapper. Place a teaspoonful of the filling in the middle of the wrapper. Fold wrapper in half to form a semi circle. Pinch the sides of the wrapper to seal the mixture. Crimp the seal to form pleats, or use the tynes of a fork. Stand dumpling, seam side up on a tray lined with baking paper. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers, keeping them separate on the tray to avoid the dumplings sticking together.
Steam over boiling water in a bamboo steamer or metal steamer, lined with baking paper for 10-12 minutes, until dumplings are tender and filling cooked. Remove from the steamer and stand for 1-2 minutes, before serving them with the dipping sauce.
To make the dumplings crispy. Heat a little oil in a non stick frying pan. Place the steamed dumplings seam side up into the pan and cook over a medium heat until the bases are golden and crispy
To Make the Dipping Sauce: Whisk ingredients together.
