Who knew you could make dumplings? Dumplings are those mysterious but wonderful flavour-filled packages that you buy at Chinese restaurants. I never dreamed that you could make your own quite easily at home.
This week for Wednesday with Donna Hay, I learned that you could. Margaret chose Dumplings from Off the Shelf, to use up our wonton wrappers from last month.
These little parcels comprise wonton wrappers filled with pork mince (in my case, Otways pork mince bought in Hawksburn Village), sweet chilli sauce, hoisin sauce and coriander, then steamed or poached in stock. I didn't have any hoisin sauce, so I used citrus honey sauce instead, and I poached my dumplings in beef stock. I served the dumplings with sweet chilli sauce on the side.
I was amazed - not only did the finished product look the part, but it tasted great too. Yum!!!

I had a bit of a struggle forming the little packets but other than that it was easy and they were tasty! Yours look great. And yes, who knew???
