Method

Mix flour and lukewarm water in a bowl to form a soft dough.

Knead dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth, then rest for 30 minutes.

Combine prawns, eggs, salt, chives, ginger, pepper, wine, and oils in a bowl and mix well.

Dived rested dough into four pieces and roll each into a 2cm wide log.

Cut dough into thumb-sized pieces and roll into thin discs with thicker centers.

Place prawn filling in the center of each disc and pinch edges to seal into crescents.

Boil dumplings in a pot for 10 minutes, adding 100ml cold water twice during the process.

Drain the dumplings and serve immediately.
