Steamed Spinach and Mushroom Dumplings
Ingredients
- 2 handfuls of spinach, roughly chopped
- 100g shitake mushrooms
- 2 inch piece of ginger
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 red chilli
- 2 sprigs spring onion
- 1 tbsp tamari
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 12 chinese dumpling wraps (i buy mine from my local asian supermarket)
Preparation
Chop the mushrooms into small cubes, finely dice the ginger, chilli, garlic & spring onion & chop up the spinach
Heat a pan & then add the sesame oil, sauté everything except for the spinach for about 7-10 mins on a medium heat
Next add the spinach until wilted & the tamari
Have your steamer ready, put a teaspoon of the filling in the middle of the dumpling wraps
Dip your finger in some water & run it along the outside of the wrap, this will help to seal it
Fold the wrap in half & pinch it together, making sure to seal it properly
Repeat with all the dumpling wraps & then steam for 10-12 minutes
Serve along side your favourite dipping sauce- sweet chilli, soy, hoisin
