Food Tech - Dumplings

Making dumplings was something fun to do. Mixing all the ingredients together was also fun because you can smell the great aroma of the ingredients in the bowl. Making dumplings is actually great to do, this was my first time and I think I’d do this again. 

Ingredients : 

• 150g mince

• 1 tsp finely chopped lemongrass

• ½ tsp finely grated ginger 

• 1 cup finely chopped cabbage

• 1 spring onion finely chopped

• A handful of fresh coriander leaves, chopped 

• 1 tsp chicken stock powder 

• 2 tsp cornflour

• 1 tsp sesame oil

• 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce 

Method: 

• To make the Dumpling Filling: In a bowl, mix all ingredients together. 

• To make the dumplings:

• Wet the edge of the dumpling wrapper.

• Place a teaspoon of the filling in the middle of the wrapper. 

• Fold the wrapper in half to form a semi-circle. 

• Pinch the sides of the wrapper to seal the mixture. 

• Crimp the seal with your fingers to form pleats, or use a fork.

• Stand the dumpling, seam side up, on a tray lined with baking paper. 

• Repeat with the remaining filling with wrappers, keeping the dumplings separate on the tray to avoid them sticking together.
