Ingredients
  

  • 18 normal size store bought dumpling wrappers or 8 larger ones
  • 2 cups plain flour (240g)
  • 1/2 cup boiling water (120ml)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 250 g pork mince
  • 3 spring onions
  • 1 handful chopped chives
  • 1 handful chopped coriander
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 inch chopped ginger
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 spring onions
  • 1 coriander
  • 1 chilli oil

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix plain flour and salt. Create a well in the center and gradually stir in boiling water that has cooled for 2 minutes. Stir until the dough becomes shaggy, then knead for 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest while you prepare the filling.
  • Combine pork mince, spring onions, chives, coriander, garlic, ginger, soy sauces, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, egg, and seasoning in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Divide the dough into 8 pieces and roll each into a circle. Place 1-2 tablespoons of filling on each wrapper, spreading it evenly.
  • Heat olive oil in a pan. Place each dumpling in the pan and smash it down. Fry for 2 minutes, then flip.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of water to the pan, cover with a lid, and steam for 1 minute. Uncover and let the bottom crisp up for 2-3 minutes.
  • Top the crispy dumpling tacos with shredded carrot, cucumber, spring onions, coriander, and a drizzle of chili oil. Serve hot and enjoy!
