Preparation
Kitchen utensils
2 Pots, 1 Small baking dish, 1 Bowl, 1 Measuring cups, 1 Cutting board, 1 Large knife, 1 Small knife, 1 Brush, 1 Immersion blender, 1 Kitchen towel, 1 Sieve, 1 Roasting pan, 1 Oven rack
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, place the beef in a bowl. Finely chop the spring onions and add to the bowl along with the remaining ingredients. Mix everything together throughly, stirring in one direction only.
3.
Turn the dough onto a floured board, knead it gently and roll into a cylinder. Cut into about 16 pieces.
4.
Take each piece of dough and roll it onto the floured board. Cut into an oval shape with a sharp knife and place a little of the filling in the centre. Pull the narrower edges of the dough together and press gently together to make a half moon-shaped wonton, taking care 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 steamer lined with greaseproof paper for about 8 minutes and serve with soy sauce alongside.
