I love making dumplings. I usually get some minced pork from the Asian supermarket, shitake mushrooms and wonton wrappers then get some fresh prawns and spend the evening in front of my favourite tv show, wrapping them up.
Here is what I do:
1. Place five mushrooms, three stalks of spring onions, one brown onion, one small carrot and prawns in the food processor and mince.
2. In a mixing bowl, place minced pork and vegetables and prawns, add a tablespoon of soy sauce or oyster sauce. Add salt and pepper to season and mix well until combined.
3. Cover and place in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes.
4. To wrap, take a sheet of pastry, place a teaspoon of mixture into the middle of the pastry then bring the edges to cover the filling. Repeat until filling is used. Any leftover pastry can be wrapped and placed in the fridge.
6. Dumplings can then be steamed for 15-20 minutes.
To freeze dumplings:
1. To freeze the dumplings, place in a plastic container and layer dumplings with plastic cling wrap in between, space them out so they don't stick together.
2. Once frozen, move dumplings into zip lock bags.
