Ingredients

  • 225g plain flour
  • 130–150ml hot water
  • vegetable oil, for frying

The Filling

  • 50g rice vermicelli noodles
  • a handful of coriander
  • 1 spring onion
  • a thumb-size piece of ginger
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 5 shiitake mushrooms, soaked and drained
  • 200g Chinese chives or garlic shoots
  • 5 pak choi leaves
  • 1 leaf of Chinese leaf cabbage

The Marinade

  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • ½ tablespoon cornflour

The Dipping Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons Chinkiang black rice vinegar
  • a thumb-size piece of ginger, finely sliced

Method

• Sieve the flour into a bowl. Gradually add the water, mixing with a fork to form a dough, then knead it on a lightly dusted surface for 5 minutes until slightly elastic.

• Roll out the pastry to a thickness of 1–2mm, then use a 70mm diameter circular cutter to cut out as many pastries as possible. Set the pastries aside on a baking sheet or tray and cover with a tea towel until needed.

• For the filling, put the noodles in a bowl, cover with hot water and soak for 3 minutes. Drain and dry the noodles on a clean kitchen towel, then finely chop them along with all the other filling ingredients. Put the chopped filling ingredients in a bowl along with the marinade ingredients and mix together well.

• Combine the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl or ramekin and wrap the dumplings as shown below.
