I marinated the prawns in a spicy chilli, garlic, soy and lime marinade and left them in the fridge whilst I did my pilates DVD. Then I assembled my dumplings whilst watching/listening to Masterchef. I added grated zucchini and carrot, mushrooms, cabbage and water chestnuts. This is what they looked like before I cooked them.

I decided to steam some in my steamer baskets, which are only big enough for 4 in each basket, so I had to steam the others in a fry pan. 

 

There was a recipe in Better homes and gardens which says to fry dumplings in oil for 1 minute to brown bottoms and then add water, cover and steam. This worked last time I made them but this time I dont think there was enough oil so they stuck to the frypan.

 

The dumplings in the steam basket came out perfectly. I also made a soy & lime dipping sauce with some fresh chilli from my plant that Emilio gave me. It complemented the chilli prawn dumplings perfectly.

 

  Looking forward to yum cha this Sunday at Kam Fook.
