Method
Dumpling Dough Preparation
Make the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Rest the Dough
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Prawn Filling Preparation
Prepare the Filling
Chop the prawns into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add Seasonings
Add the green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Dumpling Assembly and Cooking
Roll out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the rested dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter or a glass.
Fill the Dumplings
Place a small spoonful of the prawn filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal.
Cook the Dumplings
In a steamer, arrange the dumplings in a single layer and steam for 10-12 minutes until cooked through.
Dipping Sauce Preparation
Make the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil, and sesame seeds. Mix well to combine.
