Ingredients

200 gram pork mince

200 gram chicken mince

1 green onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 tablespoon plum sauce, plus extra, to serve

1/2 teaspoon chinese five spice powder

36 flour wanton wrappers

1 egg white, lightly whisked

vegetable or rice bran oil, to deep-fry

Method

1.Combine pork and chicken mince, onion, garlic, plum sauce and spice in a large bowl.

2.For each dim sim, place a wrapper on a flat work surface. Spoon 2 teaspoons pork mixture onto centre. Brush edges with egg white. Lift up wrapper corners; pinch to form a pouch enclosing filling. Place on a plate.

3.Pour oil into a wok or heavy-based saucepan to 5cm deep. Heat over high heat (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly without absorbing oil). Deep-fry dim sims, in batches, for 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked. Use a metal slotted spoon to transfer to a heatproof plate lined with paper towels. Serve dim sims with extra plum sauce.
