Handmade dumplings hit different don’t they? I must admit it isn’t often I carve out time to make them but when I do I make sure that I make a decent batch to have them in the freezer.

They are so versatile whether you use them in a soup, pan fry them, or simply steam them. The dipping sauce is a MUST with these. They are honestly worth making from scratch and I can’t wait for you to give them a go. Report back with a review at the bottom of this recipe page when you give them a go, I always love hearing how you went.

    2. In a small milk saucepan heat oil on medium-low heat for approximately 5 minutes, and pour onto of dipping sauce

Tips/Substitutions:

    • Try not to use lean pork mince as it will make the dumplings dry once cooked
    • If you do not wish to use prawns, simply replace with more pork mince
    • Chicken mince can be used to substitute pork mince
    • Freeze on a lined baking tray. Once frozen transfer to a container or zip locks bag. Can be frozen for up to 3 months. To cook, simply steam straight from the freezer for approximately 10-15minutes or until cooked through.
    • Perfectly eaten steamed, added into a noodle soup or pan-fried.
