If you don’t have a bamboo steamer, you should be able to pick one up at your local variety store or $2 shop. They really are the only way to cook dishes like these little pork dumplings, and it’s worth having one tucked away in the kitchen.

Ingredients
Dipping sauce
Method
1.Combine all of the ingredients, except the wonton wrappers, in a large bowl and mix well. Place 1 level teaspoon of filling into the centre of each wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrappers with a little water and gather the edges together to enclose the filling and form a pouch. Place the dumplings in a single layer on a tray lined with baking paper.
2.For the dipping sauce, combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
3.Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Drop the dumplings, in batches, into the water. Simmer the dumplings for about 3 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon, drain well and serve with the dipping sauce.
Wonton wrappers are available in Asian food stores. The dumpling filling and the dipping sauce can be made a day ahead. The dumplings are best cooked just before serving. Uncooked filling suitable to freeze. Not suitable to microwave.
