Instructions
- Shred the lettuce and coarsely grate the carrot. Warm the oil in a skillet/frying pan and cook the carrot and cabbage for around 2 - 3 minutes until starting to soften.
- Remove the vegetables from the heat and transfer to a chopping board. Chop them relatively finely so they are in small chunks. Finley chop the Chinese chives.
- Place all of the ingredients apart from the dumpling wrappers in a bowl (cabbage, carrot, chives, ground lamb, light and dark soy, Shaoxing wine, ginger and cumin). Mix everything together well so that everything is well distributed.
- Working with just a few at a time, place a rounded teaspoonful of the mixture to one side of the middle of a dumpling wrapper. Make sure the filling is away from the edge. Dampen the edge with a little water then fold the two sides together, by joining in the middle, then working to either side to join and ensure no air pocket. You can then leave as a flat edge or make a few pleats/folds. You can also add a little water on the outside to help stick if the wrappers are a little dry. Note you probably don't need water if using homemade dumpling wrappers. Repeat with the rest of the filling and mixture until all dumplings are formed.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil (relatively wide is best) and add a little salt and oil to the water (this helps to season the dumplings and stop them sticking). Then add a few dumplings at a time so you don't overcrowd the pot. Stir slightly so they don't stick to the bottom. Bring back to a boil and cook for around 5 - 6 minutes until the dumplings are floating at the top and look slightly shriveled. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain and repeat with rest.
Notes
- Note Chinese chives are not the same as regular chives - they are much longer and have a different flavor. If not available, green/spring onion is probably the best alternative.
- If you don't have light and dark soy sauce, then just use regular in place of light and skip the dark.
- You can test the seasoning is to your liking by making one dumpling and cooking it, or else frying a little of the filling mixture to cook it and trying it.
