Step 1

Place the prawns, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil and salt in a food processor and pulse to form a chunky paste.

Step 2

Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface and place a teaspoon of the prawn mixture in the centre and brush wrapper edges lightly with water then fold over one side on a diagonal to form a triangle and press to seal at the tof, then continue to push down and seal from left to right, removing any air bubbles.

Step 3

Firstly grab the bottom corners of the triangle and bring them together around the filling, pressing tightly, to form dumpling shape.

Step 4

Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling until al the filling is used up.

Step 5

Lay two bamboo steamer baskets with baking paper and bring a saucepan one-third filled with water to the boil (I would use my electric tiered steamer instead of bamboo steamers).

Step 6

Place the dumplings in the baskets, then set them over the saucepan and cover with a lid and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the dumplings off a little resistance when pressed.
