Ingredients:
250g raw king prawns, peeled
50g bamboo shoots
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp dry sherry or rice wine
¼ tsp ground white pepper
1 tsp caster sugar
1 tsp salt
16 ready-made dim sum wrappers
Method:
Place the prawns into a small food processor and blend to a purée. Transfer to a bowl, add all the other ingredients, except the dim sum wrappers, and mix thoroughly.
Place the wrappers onto a clean work surface and place a small spoonful of prawn mixture in the centre of each wrapper. Fold the wrappers over the prawn mixture to create a semi-circle. Press the edges of the wrapper together with damp fingers to seal the wrapper parcels and crimp the edges.
Place the parcels into a bamboo steamer over a pan of simmering water and cover. Steam for 4-5 minutes, or until the prawn mixture is completely cooked through. Remove from the steamer and serve immediately.
