Ingredients

Quantities are shown as originally provided.

  • 100 g Potato Starch
  • 25 g Wheat Starch
  • small pinch of salt
  • 125 ml boiling hot water
  • 1 salted egg yolk ( , smashed for decorating)
  • 1.5 cup Chinese chive ( , finely chopped )
  • 1 cup minced pork
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1 tbsp. sesame oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix salt, egg and pepper with pork in a small bowl. Get another large bowl, mix chopped chive with sesame oil. Then mix well with pork. Cover and fridge.

  2. 2

    On a kitchen scale, weight 100g of potato starch+ 25g of wheat starch in a large mixing bowl. Mix with a small pinch of salt. Then stir in 125ml boiling hot water. Cover the lid and set aside for 5 minutes. Transfer to an operating board and knead until smooth.

  3. 3

    Covered and rest for 10 minutes. Shape the dough into a long log and then divide into 12 portions. Take one portion out and press into a larger circle, fill with 1 tablespoon of filling and wrap as a pyramid.

  4. 4

    Repeat to finish all. Top each one with salted duck egg yolk as decorating. Set up steamers with lined papers and then brush a thin layer of oil on the surface (so your dumplings will not stick to the paper).

  5. 5

    Bring water to a boil in a large pot to steam the dumplings for 6-8 minutes. Serve hot! You do not need to prepare a dipping for this pyramid dumpling, but you can prepare a small bowl of red vinegar in any cases that dips are strongly desired.
