  • Roll the rested doughs into logs, and cut into small pieces (approx. 10-15g each). Flatten and roll into thin circles (~8cm diameter), keeping the centre slightly thicker.
  • Place approx. 1 tbsp filling in the centre of each wrapper. Fold, pinch edges to seal the dumpling.
  • Sear in 1 tbsp oil for 2 minutes. Add water, cover, and steam for 5 minutes. Uncover and crisp up for 1 minute.
