    Ingredients

    1) 3 Dried Shiitake Mushrooms

    2) 250g Ground Chicken

    3) 1 tbsp Shaoxing Wine (skip if needed)

    4) 2 tbsp Light Soy Sauce

    5) 1/4 cup water (60 ml)

    6) 2 tsp Sesame Oil

    7) 1 Scallion (very finely chopped)

    8)12 Dumpling Wrappers

    9) Finely Chopped Cilantro & Scallions (for garnishing)

    10) 2 tsp La Cust Chili's Mate (for garnishing)


    Method

    Step 1 of 10

    Reconstitute dried mushrooms in a bowl with boiling hot water. Leave covered for 10 minutes. Remove from water and chop.

    Step 2 of 10

    Transfer to a bowl, along with the ground chicken, scallion, sesame oil, soy sauce, water & Shaoxing wine.

    Step 3 of 10

    Use a pair of chopsticks to stir the filling together in one direction for about 5 minutes, until the mixture resembles a paste.

    Step 4 of 10

    Add about 2 tablespoons of filling to dumpling skin. Wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold in half to form a triangle, then take two ends of the triangle and pinch together to seal.

    Step 5 of 10

    Place on a tray, cover with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.

    Step 6 of 10

    Continue until all the dumplings are assembled.

    Step 7 of 10

    Bring a pot of water to boil.

    Step 8 of 10

    When the water is rapidly boiling, add in about 9-10 wontons at a time. Gently stir so they do not stick to the bottom of the pot. Cook for about 3-4 minutes. (The wontons should float to the top and the wrappers will begin to look translucent. Cut one open to check if they are thoroughly cooked).

    Step 9 of 10

    Drain.

    Step 10 of 10

    Serve with garlic-chilli oil, soy sauce, chopped cilantro and scallions.
