1/2 tsp dark soy sauce

Pinch of five spice powder

1 tsp light soy sauce

(C) For preparing filling:

100g black-eyed/red beans (soaked overnight, drained)

20-25 nos. dried chestnuts (soaked overnight, drained)

100g dried shrimp (soaked until soft)

13 nos. chinese mushrooms (soaked until soft, cut into halves)

2 tbsp chopped garlic & shallots

2 tbsp cooking oil

2 tbsp oyster sauce

2 tbsp light soy sauce

Sesame oil, salt & pepper to taste

1/4 tsp five spice powder

(D) 13 nos. salt egg yolks, cut into halves

50 pieces bamboo leaves

Hemp strings

 


METHOD:

  1. A night before making dumplings, soak glutinous rice, beans and dried chestnuts. Dried shrimps and chinese mushrooms can be soaked the next day as they turn soft relatively fast.

  2. Bamboo leaves and hemp strings have to be pre-treated in advance too. Heat a large pot of water. When water starts to boil, place bamboo leaves and hemp strings in. Make sure bamboo leaves and strings are fully immersed in water. Continue boiling for 10 minutes. Turn fire off and let bamboo leaves and strings in water overnight. Remove leaves and strings from water before you need to use them.

  3. For preparing glutinous rice (A): Drain glutinous rice. Heat oil in a wok. Sauté chopped garlic and shallots until fragrant. Add glutinous rice and fry over medium heat for a while. Season with all seasonings in (A). Dish out and set aside.

  4. For preparing meat: Season pork/ chicken with all seasonings in (B) for at least 1 hour.

  5. For preparing filing: Soak dried shrimp and chinese mushrooms till soft. Drain and cut each mushroom into half. Heat oil in a wok and sauté chopped garlic and shallots until fragrant. Fry ingredients (C) with seasonings. Dish out and set aside.

  6. Follow steps as shown in pictures below for dumpling wrapping. Place wrapped dumplings in a large pot of boiling water and cook for 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

  7. Dumplings can be stored in freezer for at least 1 month. Steam or microwave dumplings before serving.

(1) Take 2 bamboo leaves. Waxy side of one leave should face in (to prevent filling from sticking) while the other face out (for shiny appearance). Fold leaves to form a cone shape.

(2) Add a tbsp of fried glutinous rice. Press lightly.


(3) Place a cube of meat, one chestnut, a half-mushroom, a half-egg yolk, some beans and dried shrimps.


(4) Cover with a tbsp of fried glutinous rice. Press lightly.


(5) Pinch two corners of dumplings a little as shown.


(6) Press with thumb and pointer (as shown) to form a pyramid shape. Fold up the bamboo leaves


(7) Bend remaining length of leaves to the left, following shape of dumpling.


(8) Tidy up all the folding points of dumpling. Make sure there is no hole for filling to escape. Tie dumpling tightly with hemp string. Cut excess length of leaves if necessary.
