Ingredients

More weights & measures

1 teaspoon oil

½ cup grated carrot

½ cup frozen peas

½ cup diced mushrooms

½ cup chopped spring onion

1 teaspoon minced raw ginger

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon salt-reduced soy sauce

1 packet Gow Gee wrappers, defrosted (see tip)

Instructions

1 In a large pan or wok, heat oil and stir-fry vegetables with ginger and garlic for 5 minutes. Stir in soy sauce and remove from heat. Let mixture stand for 15 minutes until it cools.

2 Fill a small bowl with water. Spread one round wrapper on the palm of your hand. Place 1 teaspoon vegetable mix in the centre, dip a finger in water then moisten wrapper edge. Fold wrapper in half to make a semicircle parcel. Pinch edges together (you may like to give each pinch a half-twist or bend, to seal it better). Repeat with remaining wrappers.

3 Boil water in a large pot. Carefully lower each dumpling into hot water and cook in batches for 5-10 minutes.

Serving suggestion

If you like, serve dumplings on bok choy leaves.
