Steamed Chinese Chive Dumplings 蒸韭菜饺
If you love the mild garlicky fragrance of Chinese chives (jiu cai 韭菜), you’ll definitely want to try these delicious steamed Chinese chive dumplings. It’s easy to put the ingredients together with ready made dumpling wrappers (水饺皮). This recipe is quite similar to the Fried Mini Buns (recipe here) but is in a healthier version without adding too much oil. I didn’t wrap the dumplings in a traditional way like a crescent shape (pot sticker 锅贴) this time. So that anyone who wants to try this recipe at home will not be spending too much time on pleating the wrappers. It’s definitely best to enjoy this dim sum or snack with your family immediately after steaming it with or without the dipping sauce – shredded ginger and black vinegar.
