Royal China Chicken & Chive Dumplings

It’s perhaps unsurprising that dim sum is amongst the most popular styles of Cantonese food. Like chocolate fondants or octopus, however, these tasty dumplings are often difficult to ace at home – generally requiring vast amounts of kitchen skill – and are often best left to the professionals.

First launched in 1996, dim sum stalwarts Royal China (with six restaurants now operating in London) have shared their recipe for steamed chicken and chive dumplings, which are at the simpler end of the spectrum. Though relatively simple to prepare at home, compared to say Siu Long Bao or Har Gau, these chicken and chive dumplings from the chefs at Royal China are huge on flavour. The recipe serves four, but it would be sensible to make at least two or three batches to suit popular demand.

Ingredients

Serves four

For the filling

Chicken, 300g, ground

Fresh prawns (shrimps), 200g, shelled

Chinese garlic chives, ½ bunch, finely chopped

Garlic, a clove, crushed

Chinese Shao Shing wine, 1 tbsp

Light soy sauce, 1 tbsp

Ginger, ½ tsp, freshly grated

Dried shrimp, ½ tsp, ground

Sugar, a pinch

Sesame oil, 1½ tsp

Cornflour, 1 tsp

Salt, 1 tsp

White pepper, ½ tsp, ground

For the dumplings

Whole chives

Shu-mei wrappers (Wonton Skin), 4

Method

Whip all of the filling ingredients by hand, until they are fully combined and hold together.

Place a dollop of the filling in the centre of each wrapper and bring up the corners to form a little “money bag.” Leave the top open so that you can see some of the filling.

Blanch the whole chives in very hot water tap water. Then tie a chive around the neck of each dumpling so that it looks like it is wearing a little green belt.

Steam the dumplings in an oiled bamboo steamer for 15 minutes, in a steaming wok.

Serve hot with sweet chilli sauce.
