Instructions
Make the filling: (a day ahead)
- Heat up a wok with 1 tablespoon of oil and stir-fry the dried shrimps until fragrant.
- Transfer to a bowl.
- Add in the ground pork, soy sauce, black pepper, sugar and salt and saute until the pork is cooked.
- Add in garlic and stir fry for another 2 minutes.
- Next, add in the jicama, and dried shrimp (if using), and continue to cook until the jicama is slightly softened.
- Add in carrots and leek, and cook for a few minutes.
- Add in oyster sauce, taste and adjust the seasoning.
- If the jicama contains a lot of water, add in 1-2 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to the mixture and cook for another 2 more minutes.
- Transfer the cooked filling into a clean bowl and let cool completely.
- Cover and chill in the fridge overnight.
Make the dough:
- Combine wheat starch, rice flour, tapioca starch in a large heat-proof bowl. Give it a mix.
- Pour in 600ml of hot boiling water into the flour mixture.
- Mix with a wooden spoon, until the dough has cooled a little.
- Knead the dough with your hands for 2-3 minutes.
- Add in oil and continue to knead until the dough is smooth.
- Cover the dough and let it rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Form the dough into a long log and divide into 14g dough balls (for 3.25" diameter dumpling mold).
- Flatten the dough by placing it in between a folded piece of parchment paper and pressing it between a tortilla press. (Thickness of dough should be ~1 mm).
- Lightly grease the dumpling mold with sesame oil (only the first time) and place the dough in the mold.
- Add 1 tablespoon of filling and close the mold firmly to form the dumpling.
- Place the dumplings on a lightly greased steaming rack.
- Repeat with the remainder.
Steam the dumplings:
- Steam the dumplings on medium-high heat for 8 minutes, open the lid to let the steam escape, cover for another 2 minutes, or until the skin is translucent.
- Remove the steamed dumplings and lightly brush with a little sesame oil while still hot.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Yield: appx 40 x 3.25" dumplings.
