Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine 450g pork mince, 4 finely sliced spring onions, 3 grated garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp toasted sesame oil, 1-2 tsp chilli crisp, a splash of rice vinegar, and ¾ tsp white pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
What to look for: The mixture should be well combined but not overworked.
Watch out: Avoid overmixing to keep the filling tender.
-
Step 2: Lightly dip each wonton wrapper in water, then line the base of a small baking dish or ramekins with the wrappers.
What to look for: The wrappers should be pliable but not soggy.
Watch out: Do not soak the wrappers too long to prevent them from tearing.
-
Step 3: Add a thin layer of the pork mixture on top of the wrappers, then repeat the layering process with wrappers and pork mixture until all ingredients are used up. Finish with a layer of wrappers on top.
What to look for: Each layer should be even and not overfilled.
Watch out: Ensure the last layer is wrappers to hold everything together.
-
Step 4: Pour over 1-2 tablespoons of chicken stock or water to keep everything juicy as it steams.
What to look for: The liquid should cover the filling without overflowing.
Watch out: Too much liquid can make the dish soggy.
-
Step 5: Place the dish in a steamer, cover, and cook for 25 minutes until the pork is cooked through and the layers are tender.
What to look for: The pork should be fully cooked and the wrappers soft.
Watch out: If you don't have a steamer, use a pan with a little water and cover tightly.
-
Step 6: Drizzle with soy sauce and chilli crisp, then scatter over spring onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.
What to look for: The dish should be steaming and garnished evenly.
Watch out: Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture.
