Snapper Dumplings

Snapper Dumplings

Makes 25

Ingredients

2 fillets of snapper, minced

2 Tbsp fresh grated ginger

4 Tbsp spring onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1/2 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp light soy sauce

1 egg white, lightly beaten

1 packet dumpling wrappers - purchased from Countdown

Dipping sauce

2 Tbsp light soy sauce

2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar

1 tsp sesame oil

1/2 tsp brown sugar

1 tsp fresh ginger grated

1/2-1 tsp dried chilli flakes

1 tsp lime juice

Method

1) Make the dipping sauce by mixing all the ingredients together. Taste and adjust to your liking and set aside.

2) In a medium bowl place the snapper, ginger, spring onion, garlic, sesame oil and soy sauce, mix to combine, season with salt and pepper.

3) To make the dumplings place 1 tsp of filling in the centre of a dumpling wrapper. Brush the edges with egg white and fold the wrapper over to make a half circle. Pinch the edges together to seal it. Place on a lightly floured baking tray and repeat until all the filling is used up. Refrigerate until ready to cook.

4) Fill a medium pot with water and bring to the boil. Place 6-8 dumplings at a time into the boiling water and boil for approx 3 minutes or until the dumpling starts to float. Remove with a slotted spoon.

5) Heat a large frying pan on high heat with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Once hot place the boiled dumplings into the hot pan and cook until golden on both sides. Repeat the last 2 steps until all your dumplings are cooked.

6) Serve on a platter with dipping sauce and watch them disappear. ENJOY!
