Instructions
Dumplings
- Place the Dumpling Filling ingredients in a food processor and blend until coarsely chopped and the prawns move around the processor in one mass.Â
- Place a heaped teaspoon of the prawn mixture in the centre of a dumpling wrapper, then fold the dumpling wrapper in half and bring the two corner ends to meet to create a dumpling shape. Repeat with all the dumpling wrappers and filling.
- Place the dumplings in a steamer basket over boiling water. Close the lid and steam for 10 minutes. The dumpling wrappers will be slightly translucent and the filling should be red. Once they are cooked, remove them from the steamer and place them on a serving plate or divide them between 4 individual bowls.Â
Scallop Topping
- Finely dice the scallops and place them in a small bowl. Add the chopped chives and the fish sauce. Stir thoroughly to combine.Â
- Top each dumpling with a teaspoon of the Scallop Topping, followed by a small spoonful of Ars Italica Oscietra Caviar.
Sauce
- Mix all the Sauce ingredients together in a serving jug. Stir thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning by increasing any of the ingredients to your preference.
- Pour the sauce around the dumplings and finish with a drizzle of Colonna Peperoncino Oil.Â
Tips
- - Dumpling wrappers are available at major grocery stores as well as specialty grocers. - You could change the filling of the dumpling to scallop, lobster or even crab. - Dumplings can also be pan-fried or boiled.Â
