Prawn Dim Sum

  • 250g raw king prawns, peeled and cleaned
  • 50g tinned bamboo shoots, sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice wine
  • 1⁄4 tsp white pepper
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 16 ready-made dim sum wrappers
  • Dips, for serving
  • Pop the prawns into a food processor and blend to a puree. Transfer to a bowl, and add all of the other ingredients (apart from the dim sum wrappers) and mix well. Place the wrappers on a work surface and spoon some of the prawn mix into the centre of each one. Fold to create a semi-circle, and with damp fingers, seal and crimp the edges.
  • Place the parcels into a steamer over a pan of simmering water, and allow to steam for 5 minutes. Serve immediately with your choice of dips, or just with some soy sauce and chilli. Delicious!
