Pork & Mushroom Dumpling with Chilli Dipping Sauce

Method

1. Wipe mushrooms clean with a paper towel or pastry brush. Finely dice mushrooms by hand, or in a food processor on low. Careful not to over-process to a mush.
2. In a medium sized bowl, mix all your dumpling ingredients together.
3. Before assembling dumplings, take a teaspoon of dumpling mix and cook in the microwave or fry in a pan to taste for seasoning. Adjust by adding more salt if needed.
4. Place 4 dumpling wrappers on a board and spoon around 1 teaspoon of filling in the middle. Wet the edge with a little water, just half the way around, then push together using your fingers. Place on baking paper. Repeat until finished.
5. Add 1 teaspoon of oil to a non-stick pan over a med – high heat. Once hot add 8-10 dumplings, careful not to over crowd the pan.
6. Add ¾ cup of water to the pan and place a lid on top. Cook until all the water has evaporated and they have a nice brown bottom.
7. While the dumplings are cooking, make the dipping sauce by mixing all ingredients together well.
8. To serve, pour the sauce on the bottom of the serving dish, add the dumplings. If using, scatter with herbs, spring onion, chilli and sesame seeds.
