Ingredients

Dumplings

  • 1 cup roasted chestnuts, with skin removed, roughly chopped
  • 100g wombok (cabbage), green part only, finely shredded
  • 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, finely grated
  • 4 spring onions, green parts, finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp ground white petter
  • 30 gow gee wrappers
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Peanut hoisin sauce

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

Method

  1. Combine chestnuts, wombok, ginger, green parts of the spring onion, soy sauce, sesame oil and white pepper in a large bowl and mix well. You’re aiming for a wet, ‘mince’ like consistency.
  2. Working with one dumpling wrapper at a time, place two teaspoons of filling in the centre. Lightly brush edge with water, then fold over the wrapper. Press along the edge to seal well. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  3. Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Working in batches, add dumplings, base side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Add a dash of water to the pan and quickly cover with a tight-fitting lid. Steam the dumplings for another 2-3 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the lid and continue to cook until excess water has evaporated. Remove dumplings from the pan and keep warm while cooking the remainder.
  4. To make the sauce, combine peanut butter, peanuts, hoisin sauce and minced garlic in a small saucepan and warm over medium heat. Stir to combine.
  5. Serve dumplings warm, alongside dipping sauce.

Tips

Chestnuts have an excellent soft, spongy texture which make them a great substitute for mince. Plus, they absorb flavour really well, making them perfect for Asian dishes with aromatic ingredients.
