Har Gow (Cantonese Dumplings)

Step 1

In a bowl, combine all of the dough ingredients. Add more boiling water if the dough is too dry. Knead the dough for 5 minutes to form an elastic dough, and then set aside covered in cling film.

Step 2

Pour the filling ingredients into a separate bowl and combine thoroughly to form a paste.

Step 3

Get your dough and roll it into a sausage shape. Cut the dough into one inch pieces (you should make around 8-10). Roll out the wrappers into thin circles.

Step 4

Place a spoonful of the filling into the centre of the wrapper. Pleat the wrapper 4 times inwards on both sides and then bring the flap up to meet the pleats, and seal (see video on Instagram). Repeat this process.

Step 5

Place the dumplings into a steamer and cook for 6 minutes.

Step 6

Serve up and enjoy!
