Vegetable Dumplings

Due to some reasons, my hubby and I are currently on a vegetarian diet. Therefore, decided to try a vegetarian variation to satisfy our dimsum craving.

Ingredients (Make 25)
2 garlic cloves, diced
2 tbsp grated ginger
200g baby choy sim, shredded
200g garlic chives, chopped
2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
3 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
50g water chestnuts, chopped
50g carrots, chopped
25 dumpling wrappers

Dipping Sauce
1/2 tsp peanut oil
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp of lime juice
1 tbsp soya sauce
1 chilli, finely chopped

Method
Heat the some oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the garlic and ginger until soft.

Increase the heat to high, add the choy sim and garlic chives for about 4 mins. Stir in the carrots, water chestnuts, coriander and chilli sauce. Allow to cool and squeeze dry the mixture.

Lay a wrapper on the work surface. Place a heaped teaspoon of mixture in the centre. Moisten the edge of the wrapper with water and pinch to seal to form a ball. Repeat.

Steam the dumplings, seam side up for approx. 5-6 mins.

Serve warm with dipping sauce.
