Method
- Mix together all ingredients, except the gow gee pastries and vegetable oil. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Heat 1tbsp vegetable oil in a frying pan and on a low heat, gently sauté the mixture. After 2-3 minutes once the vegetables have softened, remove from the pan and leave to cool.
- Lay four pastries out at a time, ensuring the remaining are covered. Place a heaped teaspoon of the mixture into the centre of each wrapper. Brush the edges of each wrapper with a little water and using your thumb and index finger, pleat one edge, then press edges together to seal. Once all pastries are complete, place in a single layer on a prepared tray.
- Preheat oven to 80°C.
- Heat 1tbsp vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add 8 dumplings, pleated side-up, in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes or until brown underneath.
- Carefully add 100ml boiling water, then cover with a lid and cook for a further 4-5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking until water has evaporated.
- Gently shake the pan to unstick the potstickers.
- Transfer to an oven tray, cover with foil and keep warm in oven.
- Repeat with remaining oil and dumplings.
