Ingredients:
Jiaozi dough:

3 cups of all-purpose flour

up to 1 1/4 cups of cold water

1/4 teaspoon salt

Filling:

300g minced pork

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper, or to taste

3 teaspoons sesame oil

1/2 green onion, finely minced

6 bundles of finely cut Chinese chive

300g tiger prawn cut into small cubes

2 slices fresh ginger, finely minced

1 clove garlic, peeled and finely minced


Preparation:

Stir the salt into the flour. Slowly stir in the cold water, adding as much as is necessary to form a smooth dough. Don't add more water than necessary. Knead the dough into a smooth ball. Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling ingredients. Add the soy sauce, salt, rice wine and white pepper to the meat, stirring in only one direction. Add the remaining ingredients, stirring in the same direction, and mix well.

To make the dumpling dough: knead the dough until it forms a smooth ball. Divide the dough into 60 pieces. Roll each piece out into a circle about 3-inches in diameter.

Place a small portion (about 1 level tablespoon) of the filling into the middle of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling into a half moon shape and pinch the edges to seal. Continue with the remainder of the dumplings.

To cook, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add half the dumplings, and give them a gentle stir so they don't stick together. Bring the water to a boil, and add 1/2 cup of cold water. Cover and repeat. When the dumplings come to a boil for a third time, they are ready. Drain and remove.
