Preparation steps
1.
For the dough, place all the dry ingredients in a bowl and pour over the boiling water, stirring constantly with chopsticks or a wooden spoon, until you have a soft dough. You may have to add a little more water. Knead the oil into the dough then cover with a clean cloth and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
2.
For the filling, roughly chop the prawns and finely chop the squid. Place in a bowl and mix in the remaining ingredients.
3.
Turn the dough onto a floured board, knead it gently then roll it into a cylinder and cut into 16 pieces.
4.
To make the dumplings, roll a piece of dough on a floured board and cut into a circle about 4" / 10cm diameter. Place a little filling in the middle of the dough and draw the edges together, pressing gently to make a good seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling, covering the dough you are not using with a clean cloth to prevent it drying out.
5.
Steam the dumplings in a bamboo steamer lined with greaseproof paper for about 8 minutes and serve on a bed of cabbage leaves garnished with chives.
