Recipe Notes
It is also delicious with finely chopped ginger added to the pork mixture.
My secret ingredient is panko crumbs as it helps give these dumplings a lighter texture.
Add a mild chilli dipping sauce and the dish is complete.
If you can't find wonton wrappers you can use gow gee wrappers instead.
