DIRECTIONS
Lay the pork belly or shoulder on your board and slice into long strips. Using your FURI East/West™ Santoku or cleaver, chop repeatedly until you’ve got a coarse mince. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Peel and devein the prawns, then switch to your utility knife and chop them into chunky pieces. Add to the pork along with the cabbage, spring onion and ginger. Season with oyster sauce, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, white pepper and cornstarch. Mix until the filling turns sticky and well combined. Place a dumpling wrapper in your palm and add a spoonful of filling to the centre. Lightly wet the edges, then pleat and seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
Steam the dumplings for 8–10 minutes or until cooked through.
To make the dipping sauce, stir together the ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar and chilli oil until the sugar dissolves. Adjust to taste.
Serve the hot dumplings with plenty of spicy vinegar dipping sauce on the side.
