Pork and Chive Dumplings with Dried Prawns

These handmade pork and chive dumplings offer a wonderful depth of savoury flavour, enhanced by the traditional addition of dried prawns and fragrant garlic chives. This high-protein dish provides a satisfying balance of textures, from the silky, hand-rolled wrappers to the succulent meat filling. Whether you choose to steam them for a light, delicate finish or pan-fry them for a golden, crispy base, they make for a truly impressive kitchen project.

Perfect as a substantial starter or a main course for a social dinner, these dumplings are best enjoyed fresh from the pan. The accompanying dipping sauce, made with rice vinegar and a hint of Sriracha, cuts through the richness of the pork perfectly. It is a nutritious, homemade alternative to shop-bought varieties that the whole family will appreciate.

Ingredients for Pork and Chive Dumplings with Dried Prawns

  • 250g de harina común

  • 3/4 cucharaditas de sal

  • 2 teaspoons dried prawns

  • 2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine, such as Shaoxing, or medium-dry Sherry

  • 170g cabbage (1/4 medium head), roughly chopped

  • 1/2 cucharadita de sal kosher

  • 450g pork mince

  • 1 bunch golden or green garlic chives, finely chopped (80g )

  • 2 spring onions (green parts only), thinly sliced on the diagonal

  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

  • 1/8 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely grated

  • 45 ml de salsa de soja

  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

  • 1 cucharada de azúcar

  • 1/2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil

  • 1 huevo grande, batido

  • 1/4 cucharaditas de pimienta negra recién molida

  • 1 heaping tablespoon cornflour

  • 70ml vegetable oil

  • 60ml de salsa de soja

  • 80ml unseasoned rice vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha (Southeast Asian chilli sauce)

  • 1 spring onion (green part only), thinly sliced on the diagonal

  • 2 large baking sheets

  • large saucepan or large nonstick skillet with tight-fitting lid

  • metal or bamboo steamer (if steaming dumplings)

In large bowl, combine flour, salt, and 240ml boiling water. Using wooden spoon, mix until dough forms shaggy ball, then transfer to lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and shiny, 6 to 8 minutes. (Alternatively, mix and knead using electric mixer fitted with dough hook; kneading time will be shorter.) Wrap lightly in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature 20 minutes.

In large bowl, combine all ingredients. Using hands, gently knead mixture in bowl until just combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Line large baking sheet with paper towels and dust lightly with flour. Divide dough into 3 even pieces. On lightly floured surface, using palms of hands, roll each piece into 3/4-inch-diameter log. Using floured knife, cut each log into 1-inch-long sections.

Pinch 1 dough section out into circle, then roll out on floured surface using floured rolling pin to 4-inch-diameter round. Transfer round to baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough sections, stacking rounds in layers on floured paper towels.

Line second large baking sheet with paper towels and dust lightly with flour. Hold 1 wrapper in palm of hand. Using fingertip dippsed in water, gently wet around edge of wrapper. Place 1 heaping tablespoon filling in centre of wrapper, then fold wrapper in half without sealing edges, cupping half-moon (open side-up) between thumb and fingers and gently tamping down filling with other hand to keep edge of wrapper free of filling.

Using thumb and forefinger of left hand, begin pinching edges of wrapper together while pushing 1 edge into tiny pleats with thumb of right hand. Continue pleating and pinching across entire semicircle until wrapper is sealed (unpleated side will automatically curve). Set dumpling, sealed edge up, on baking sheet and repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

In large saucepan with tight-fitting lid, bring 1 1/2 inches water to boil. Lightly oil metal steamer (if using bamboo, line with cabbage leaves to prevent sticking) and set in pan. Arrange dumplings, sealed edges up, on steamer, cover, and steam until filling is firm and wrappers are slightly translucent.

In large lidded nonstick sauté pan over moderately high heat, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil until hot but not smoking. Add 13 to 14 dumplings, pleated sides up and sides not touching, and immediately pour in enough cold water to come halfway up sides of dumplings (use care; oil may splatter). Cover and cook until liquid is evaporated and bottoms of dumplings are crisp and golden, about 10 minutes. (Use spatula to loosen and lift edges to check bottoms; replace lid and continue cooking if necessary, checking after 1 to 2 minutes.) Transfer dumplings, crisp sides up, to platter and keep warm. Repeat with remaining 2 batches of dumplings.

In medium bowl, stir together all ingredients.

Serve dumplings warm with dipping sauce.
