Steamed pork buns

Makes 25

• 300g pork mince
• ½ cup chopped chives
• 100g raw prawns, finely chopped
• 100g water chestnuts, chopped small
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp grated ginger
• 20 wonton wrappers

Dipping sauce
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 Tbsp chopped chilli

1. In a bowl place mince, chives, prawns, water chestnuts, soy and ginger. Mix until well combined.

2. Take a wonton wrapper and place a tablespoon of mixture in the middle, brush the edges with a little water then gather up and pinch together. Repeat with rest of filling.

3. Cut around a sheet of baking paper to fit your steamer. Place the buns on top, ensuring they don't stick together. Cover and steam for 10 minutes or until the wrappers are translucent.

4. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
