Veg Dumplings/ Dim Sum/ Momos/ Shui Mai

You need:

For Dim Sum:

Wanton wrapper, dumpling wrapper (found in most stores/delis these days)

Grated Carrot – ½ Cup

Grated/Very fined chopped cabbage – ½ Cup

Fine chopped spring onions – ½ Cup

Fine chopped ginger – 1 tsp

Sesame oil – 2 tsp

Very finely chopped garlic sauteed in little oil on very low flame – 2 Tbsp

Thick soy sauce – 1 tsp

Pepper – 1 tsp

Dipping sauce:

Mix well 3 Tbsp of Soya sauce, 1 tsp of honey, 1tsp of finely chopped ginger and 1 tsp of sesame oil.

1) Mix all the ingredients above in a bowl. And try to use it immediately as the veggies tend to leave water after sometime and wilt a little.

2) Brush some water on one side of the wanton wrapper. On the same side put a teaspoonful of the mixture. Now seal the edges nicely.

3) Steam the dim sums for 20 min.

There are variety of ways to wrap dumplings. Pity I haven't yet taken any video till now. Shall try making a videos next time I make dim sums. Till then you can watch the following video : 

*If you don't have sesame oil, fry sesame seeds in some oil on very low head to incorporate flavor. Remove seeds and use oil.

** Can add mushrooms if you like them.

*** Cooking time depends on the thickness of the wanton wraps and steamer too.

**** If you don't have ready made wanton wrapper, you can make a soft dough made of all purpose flour or maida, oil and water just like you make for chapati.
