Ingredients
- 100 g Potato Starch
- 25 g wheat starch
- small pinch of salt
- 125 ml boiling hot water
- 1 salted egg yolk , smashed for decorating
Filling
- 1.5 cup Chinese chive , finely chopped
- 1 cup minced pork
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1 tbsp. sesame oil
Instructions
- Mix salt, egg and pepper with pork in a small bowl. Get another large bowl, mix chopped chive with sesame oil. Then mix well with pork. Cover and fridge.
- On a kitchen scale, weight 100g of potato starch+ 25g of wheat starch in a large mixing bowl. Mix with a small pinch of salt. Then stir in 125ml boiling hot water. Cover the lid and set aside for 5 minutes. Transfer to an operating board and knead until smooth.
- Covered and rest for 10 minutes. Shape the dough into a long log and then divide into 12 portions. Take one portion out and press into a larger circle, fill with 1 tablespoon of filling and wrap as a pyramid.
- Repeat to finish all. Top each one with salted duck egg yolk as decorating. Set up steamers with lined papers and then brush a thin layer of oil on the surface (so your dumplings will not stick to the paper).
- Bring water to a boil in a large pot to steam the dumplings for 6-8 minutes. Serve hot! You do not need to prepare a dipping for this pyramid dumpling, but you can prepare a small bowl of red vinegar in any cases that dips are strongly desired.
