Okay~ Here's the recipe i learnt from my dad :) It looks hard to make, but trust me its really easy and fun. Except! the dumpling skin. To prepare the dough is easy but to shape it, i dont know how to explain..So, I attached a video from youtube for you.Hehe :) Okay, let see what you'll need :
Ingredients for the fillings :
1/2 bowl of Minced chicken
1/2 bowl Minced shrimp
Minced Scallion
1 tbsp of Minced garlic
1 Egg
1 1/2 tbsp of Sesame oil
Ingredients for the dumpling skin :
2 cups of all-purpose flour
3/4 cup just boiled water
1/4 tbsp of salt
Lets make the dumpling skin first, put 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/4 tbsp of salt in a bowl, mix it and make a hole in the center and pour the water. while you are adding the water, stir the flour, so that the flour will absorb the water. After the flour turns into lumpy bits, knead the dough until it become one mass. If the dough still dry, add more water. Then transfer the dough on the table (make sure its clean) and knead it for about 3 minutes and put in a sandwich bag for an hour. After that, cut it into 4 pieces, and roll each piece into a thick log and cut it into 8 equal pieces and shape each pieces into rounded disc. The rest actions, please take a look at this video :)
