🥬 Choipan (steamed vegetable dumplings)

20 pieces · prep 45 min · cook 15 min

Ingredients

• 150 g rice flour, 50 g tapioca starch
• 300 ml boiling water, 1 tbsp oil
• 400 g Chinese chives (or sliced leek)
• 150 g dried shrimp, rehydrated
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp soy sauce, white pepper
• Fried garlic to serve

Method

1. Pour the BOILING water onto the flours all at once and mix fast: boiling water is what makes the dough supple and translucent.
2. Knead 5 min with the oil, then cover with a damp cloth.
3. Stir-fry the garlic, dried shrimp and chives 4 min over high heat, season, and cool.
4. Roll very thin discs — you should almost see through them.
5. Fill, pinch the edges firmly shut, and set on oiled paper.
6. Steam 12 min, and serve with fried garlic and chili sauce.
