1 Start by preparing filling. Sprinkle cabbage with ½ Tbsp salt and leave

for 30 minutes. Put cabbage in a muslin bag and drain well by squeezing

with your hands.

2 Combine cabbage, tofu, chives, pork, prawns, mushrooms, ginger,

½ tsp salt, pepper and potato starch in a large bowl. Mix well and

set aside in the freezer for 20 minutes.

3 To make dumplings, wet one side of wrapper with some water. Scoop

about 2 tsp of filling onto wrapper and bring 2 ends of the wrapper

together. Seal by adding some water and pinching the sides.

4 Heat some oil in a non-stick frying pan. Place dumplings in rows of

5–6 and pan-fry until browned on one side. Pour vinegar mixture over

dumplings and cover pan with a lid. Cook over medium-high heat until

liquid has evaporated. Transfer dumplings onto a serving plate.

5 Combine all the ingredients for dipping sauce in a bowl. Mix well.

6 Serve pan-fried dumplings with dipping sauce on the side.
