The original recipe is with octopus shape dumpling but I've change it to fish shape dumpling with a little mouth for the monsters to give a kiss before serving.
Adapted from: Sherleen's Kitchen Diary
For the dough:
(make 20 yields)
70 gm wheat starch
30 gm tapioca starch
140 gm hot water
1/2 tablespoon Corn oil
A pinch of salt
For the filling:
120 gm minced meat
120 gm prawns (shelled) - cut into small cubes
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon light soy sauce
Salt, sugar and pepper to taste
Some black sesame for the eye
Method for filling:
- Beat minced meat into sticky form.
- Mix all the ingredients and seasonings together. Set aside.
- Sift wheat starch flour and tapioca flour in a mixing bowl. Add in salt.
- Add boiling water and mix thoroughly using a wooden spoon till you get translucent like dough.
- Cover the mixing bowl and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Knead the dough until no flour is stick to the bowl. Add in the oil, knead the dough until the oil is fully absorbed.
- Roll out dough into a long sausage roll. Divide into 10gm small dough.
- Prepare the steamer. Lightly oil the steaming tray, place a damp cloth in the steamer.(I'm used grease proof paper on the bamboo steamer )
- Roll out the small dough. Spoon appropriate amount of filling in the center of the dough.
- Shaping the dumpling into fish pattern. 15-20 gm each dumpling after wrapped.
- Use a scissors to cut the tail shape and add on the eye and mouth.
- Boil the water,using medium to high flame, steam the dumplings for 4-5 minutes or until the skin is translucent.
Can keep it frozen after wrapping if you like to enjoy it later. Need more time for steaming if fresh from freezers.
