Ingredients
- store bought wonton wrappers or gyoza wrappers
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 350g pork mince
- 1 spring onion, finely sliced
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
Miso yoghurt dressing
- 1 tablespoon miso paste
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup Greek or natural yoghurt
To serve
- spring onion
- sesame seeds
- chilli oil
Method
- Make the miso dressing in a small bowl by combining the miso paste with the water, whisking until smooth. Add the yoghurt and fold through until creamy and smooth. Set aside.
- Add the sesame oil and brown the pork mince meat in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Transfer to a medium sized mixing bowl. Add the spring onion and hoisin sauce. Stir to combine.
- Fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Prepare the wonton wrappers by gently separating the wonton wrappers on a flat surface.
- Add a tablespoon of the mince mixture to the centre of each wonton wrapper. Use your finger to run a little water around the edges of each wrapper so that it becomes sticky. Lift two diagonal opposite corners up and bring them together, then follow through with the remaining 2 corners to create a little parcel.
- Press firmly with your fingertips at the top to keep the parcel together.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully drop the wonton wrappers into the water, stirring gently to prevent them from sticking to each other or the bottom of the pan.
- Let the wonton wrappers cook for about 1-3 minutes. You'll know they’re ready when they become translucent and rise to the surface of the water. It doesn’t take long!
- Use a slotted spoon to gently pick up each wonton wrapper one by one out of the water and place into a serving bowl.
- Top the dumplings generously with the miso yoghurt sauce and chilli oil. Garnish with spring onion and sesame seeds to serve.
