Dim sim
Pork and vegetable dumplings with water chestnuts, soy sauce and sesame oil.
About Dim sim
Elizabeth Chong shares these dim sims from her home kitchen in Peter Rowland's Melbourne cooking series. Her rendition fills wonton wrappers with minced pork, cabbage, celery, spring onion and water chestnuts.
Light soy sauce, sesame oil and white pepper season the filling with salt and sugar. Cornflour binds the mixture, while the finely chopped vegetables bring texture around the pork.
The wrappers are gathered around the filling into a flower-pot shape, filled to the top and steamed. Soy sauce is served alongside the finished dumplings.
