Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

1 pckt round dumpling wrappers
150g minced pork (you could also use minced chicken or firm tofu)
1 tsp mirin
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp ginger, finely grated
1 cup kale, chopped finely
1 tbs soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tbs peanut oil

Slurry

1/2 cup water
2 tsp corn or potato starch

DIRECTIONS

Mix together all of the ingredients up to the sesame oil in a bowl and massage together until combined.

Put a teaspoon of the mixture in the middle of the dumpling wrapper.

Apply water to the edge with your finger. Fold in half and pinch pleats into the edges, then press to seal. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.

Mix together the slurry ingredients and set aside.

Heat in the oil in a non stick medium sized frypan (with a lid). Place the dumplings in the pan, in a single layer, (pleat facing up). Gently fry on a medium heat until golden brown - approximately 3 minutes.

Pour the slurry mixture in and place the lid on the pan to allow the dumpling to steam. When the mixture has set on the bottom, crispy, and the dumplings are transparent (about 4- 5 minutes. Remove the lid and place a plate over the top of the frypan and flip over to transfer the dumpling pancake to the plate.

Serve with dipping sauce of your choice.
