MUSHROOM DUMPLINGS

Ingredients 

  • 100g white mushrooms
  • 50g chestnut mushrooms
  • 150g 5% fat beef mince
  • 1 carrot grated
  • 4 spring onions finely chopped
  • 10g fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 10g fresh coriander finely chopped
  • Salt
  • 1tsp black pepper
  • 1tsp chilli flakes
  • 1tsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1tsp sesame oil
  • 1tsp soy sauce
  • 1tsp garlic paste
  • 1cm fresh ginger grated
  • 30 dumpling wrappers

Method 

  1. Finely chop the white button mushrooms, chestnut mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, garlic, ginger and spring onions. Grate the carrot and set aside.
  2. Add the mushrooms, cabbage, carrot, garlic, ginger, spring onions and low-fat beef mince to a large mixing bowl. Season with soy sauce, sesame oil, chilli, salt and pepper, then mix well until fully combined.
  3. Lay the dumpling wrappers out on a clean surface and place a small spoonful of filling into the centre of each one.
  4. Lightly brush the edges with water, then fold and pinch the wrappers to seal the dumplings.
  5. To freeze, arrange the dumplings in a single layer on a tray and freeze until firm. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and store until needed.
  6. When ready to cook, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the dumplings and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden underneath.
  7. Add a splash of water to the pan, cover with a lid and steam for a further 4-5 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
  8. Serve with Asian slaw and a spicy dipping sauce.
