The most “woon”derful “chicken” dumplings 🥟
Following the recipe from one of my favourite Instagram accounts ever, @woon.heng, I brought these little delights to life 😍🥟
I kind of accidentally made wholemeal dumplings 🥟 I used the wrong flour and only realised half way through 😂 Anyway, despite being a little thick, they were pretty bloody tasty 🤤
This was my first time making dumplings! 🥟 I was always kinda terrified of doing it because I assumed it‘d be kinda tough and complicated. Don’t get me wrong, you’ve defs gotta have a bit of time on ya hands but it’s pretty straight forward. I was so proud of how but they turned out even though they weren’t as intended and I got really into the pleating process 🥟
Head over to @woon.heng’s page for the full recipe but here’s what you’ll need:
🥟 Dumpling Wrappers:
🌱 240g all purpose flavour (or wholemeal if ya wanna go rogue like me)
🌱 125ml hot water
🥟 Filling:
🌱 8oz @this.uk “chicken”
🌱 8oz firm tofu
🌱 125g fresh spinach
🌱 75g cabbage
🌱 1 chopped carrot
🌱 Handful of chopped scallions
🌱 Sesame oil
🌱 Salt & pepper
I also made myself a little dipping sauce using Chinese chilli sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar & maple syrup 🥢
