- 100g(about 4 leaves) Chinese Cabbage, finely sliced
- 50g Chinese Chives, finely chopped
- ½ tsp Minced Ginger
- 1 Red Chili, seeded and finely chopped
- 2 tsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- 1 tsp Sugar

- Light Soy and Vinegar Sauce
- 4 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil

Method
Mix the cabbage with 1 tsp of sea salt and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then, drain and squeeze out all the excess water.
Make the stuffing: Place the chopped shrimp, Chinese cabbage, chive, ginger, chili, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, sea salt, white pepper, corn flour in a bowl, mix well and marinate for about 30 minutes.
Make the dumplings: Place about 1½ teaspoons of stuffing into the center of each dumpling skin. Fold the skin gently in half and, starting at one end, join the two sides together with a series of pinches/pleats. Place the finished dumpling on your work surface, pushing it slightly to give it a flat base.
Set the steamer over high heat. Place a few cabbage leaves in the steamer and top with a layer of dumplings. Steam the dumplings for about 8 to 9 minutes. Remove and serve immediately with light soy and vinegar sauce.
