Instructions

1 In a jar or small bowl, combine soy sauce, chilli oil, spring onion, sesame seeds and chilli flakes, if using. Set aside.

2 In a large bowl, combine the next 7 ingredients well.

3 Dust a surface with rice flour. In the centre of each dumpling wrapper, place a heaped teaspoon of the pork mixture. Moisten wrapper edges with a wet brush or finger and fold over to form a semi-circle. Press edges to seal, then pleat the sealed edges. Place on prepared rice flour surface.

4 In a large pan, heat sesame oil over medium-high. In batches, cook dumplings in the pan for 2 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Turn dumplings over and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add ½ cup boiling water to the pan and cover. Cook for 8-10 minutes.

5 Serve dumplings immediately garnished with chives and spring onions with dipping sauce, dressed mesclun, edamame beans and lime wedges on the side.
