Ingredients

  • 1 tsp cornflour mixed with a tablespoon of water
  • 4 spring onions, white part finely chopped, pale green part julienned
  • 200g spanner crab meat
  • 4 fresh shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 80g water chestnuts, chopped
  • 3 cm piece of ginger, finely chopped
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • Pinch of white pepper
  • 60 square wonton wrappers
  • 1 tbsp sambal oelek
  • 1 tbsp soy
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp of crispy fried shallots
  • Pinch of salt

Method

  1. Line a tray with baking paper.
  2. Place the white part of the spring onion in a large bowl along with the crab, mushrooms, water chestnuts, white pepper, cornflour paste, ginger, egg, and salt. Mix until a sticky paste forms.
  3. Place a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface and add 1 teaspoon of the crab mixture to the centre. Brush the edges with a little water.
  4. Bring the opposite corners together and press to seal. Now lightly press around the filling to release any air bubbles and form a triangular parcel.
  5. Wrap the triangle around your thumb so it forms a little hat-like dumpling. It should look like tortellini.
  6. Place on the prepared tray and cover with a damp cloth to ensure they do not dry out. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and mince mixture.
  7. For the sauce, combine sambal oelek, soy, sesame oil, sugar and a splash of water.
  8. Add the dumplings (in two batches if necessary) into the Easy Fry & Steam air fryer, and steam for 3 – 4 minutes at 100°C.
  9. Remove and arrange in a shallow dish. Pour over the sauce and serve with crispy shallots and the green part of the spring onions scattered over the top.
