Steamed Seafood Dumplings


Last night we had these delicious seafood dumplings, I was inspired by the recipe I found here at Seasaltwithfood.


I used scallops and green prawns diced up and mixed with ginger, spring onion, soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar. I put a little as filling in my dumpling wrapper and made little 'hats'. These were then steamed for about eight minutes.
 To make a dipping sauce I mixed soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and chilli flakes. I also steamed some asian greens and carrot.

Showing off her chopstick skills!
They were delicious, the moment you opened the dumpling you could smell the beautiful aroma of cooked seafood. I was especially pleased the scallop flavour dominated, as I am not a huge prawn lover.

    Looks great, AND healthy! Did you steam these dumplings in a bamboo steamer, or another type of steamer?

    Yum, these dumplings look so good! This is something I never make at home. I've made Japanese dumplings a few times though.
