Ingredients

Method

1.Place chives in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water; stand for 1 minute or until soft. Drain; refresh under cold water.
2.Line a baking tray with baking paper. Combine chicken, garlic, lemongrass, ginger and fish sauce in a food processor; process until almost smooth. Transfer to a glass bowl. Add peanuts and coriander; stir until combined.
3.For each dumpling, place a wrapper on a flat surface. Top with a heaped teaspoon of chicken mixture. Brush edge of with water. Bring wrapper edges up to enclose filling. Pinch to seal. Tie with a chive to secure. Trim ends of chive. Transfer to prepared tray. Cover with a clean damp tea-towel.
4.Heat oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over moderate heat (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly without absorbing oil). Deep-fry dumplings, in batches, for 3 minutes or until golden and cooked. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels. Serve with sweet chilli sauce.

To make vegetarian, use 250g mashed firm tofu instead of chicken, and swap fish sauce for soy sauce. Don’t overfill dumplings, as some fillings expand during cooking.
