Crispy Prawn and Chive Dumplings


Print

This is one of the most delicious things I’ve made recently and it’s super easy to make with rice paper instead of a classic dumpling wrapper.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Stir together the prawns, chives, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, cornflour, salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Dip a sheet of rice paper into room temperature water for a few seconds until beginning to soften (don’t over soak as they will continue to soften).

  3. 3

    Cut the rice paper sheet in half.

  4. 4

    Add a spoonful of the prawn mixture (~1 tbsp) to the centre and fold the rice paper over the filling to seal it in.

  5. 5

    Brush both sides of the dumpling with oil and set aside.

  6. 6

    Repeat until you’ve used up all of the mixture (this should make 6 dumplings).

  7. 7

    Put a non-stick pan on medium heat and brush with oil.

  8. 8

    When hot, add the dumplings and pan fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until the prawns turn pink and the rice paper becomes golden and crispy.

  9. 9

    Serve with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
