Step 1

To make your white dough, add 300g flour to a large bowl and gently pour in 150ml water. Use chopsticks to stir the flour while you pour in the water. A shaggy dough should form, and at that point, begin kneading for 1 minute. Once a rough dough ball has formed, place it plastic wrap and set aside.

Step 2

In the same large bowl, add in 200g of flour, 100ml water, and your green food colouring. Once again, stir using chopsticks until a shaggy dough forms, then begin to knead for a minute or so until a rough dough ball forms. Wrap it in clingfilm and set aside.

Step 3

In another large bowl, combine all of your filling ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or chopsticks until everything is well combined. Set it aside. (see notes for a top tip!!).

Step 4

Get your white and green doughs and knead them both individually for another 30 seconds. The gluten should have loosened so you’ll get a nice bouncy dough. Roll your white dough into a long sausage (around 12 inches). Next, roll out your green dough into a rectangular shape, the same length as the white dough sausage. Make the height of the green rectangle about 2 inches (so that it will fit around the white sausage).

Step 5

Place your white sausage dough into the centre of the rectangle, lengthways and wrap up the green dough around the white sausage. Pinch at the tips to seal.

Step 6

Next up, slice your sausage into 24 pieces.

Step 7

Roll out each wrapper into a thin circle. Sprinkle some flour between each wrapper to prevent them sticking to each other.

Step 8

Place a spoonful of the filling into the centre of your wrapper. Then, bring up all sides of your wrapper and pinch where the white and green parts of the dough change. You can either pinch with your fingers, or use chopsticks and place them either side of the dumpling and push them in towards each other. You should be left with a pak choi looking dumpling, with green little leaves as the head, and a white body. Repeat this step for all the dumplings.

Step 9

Place your dumplings into a metal or bamboo steamer. Steam for 8-10 minutes on low-medium heat. Depending on the size of your steamer, you may have to cook them in two batches.

Step 10

In a small bowl, combine all your sauce ingredients. Give it a taste and season to suit your preferences.

Step 11

Once your dumplings are cooked, serve them up with your dipping sauce and enjoy!
