FILLING
Collection of Chinese style dumplings. These are taken from "Oriental
Snacks and Appetizers" by Jacki Passmore.
Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and quickly add the boiling water. Work
with the handle of a wooden spoon until cool enough to touch, then knead
briskly on an oiled surface until it feel springy. Cover with a damp cloth
and set aside.
Mince the shrimp meat and water chestnuts and add the soy sauce, sugar and
cornflour. squeeze through the fingers until sticky, then refrigerate for
30 minutes. Roll the dough into a long sausage and cut off small pieces.
Roll out on an oiled surface into thin rounds. Place a spoonful of the
filling in the centre of each and pinch the edges together. Press the
points of a fork around the edges to decorate. Arrange in an oiled steaming
backet or on an oiled plate and steam, tightly covered, over high heat for
8-9 minutes. Serve hot with a dip of thin soy sauce and hot mustard or
chilli sauce.
