Dim sims

1.To make filling, heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Transfer to a large bowl. Using a sharp knife finely slice the top third of the wombok and add it to the pan, tossing for 2 minutes until just wilted, then add to the mushrooms. Add the remaining filling ingredients to the cooked vegetables. Mix thoroughly.

2.Lay wonton wrappers on a clean board or kitchen bench. Place a heaped dessert spoon of filling into the centre of each. Brush the edge with egg white and gently pinch the wrapper around the filling to enclose.

3.Cook by steaming or frying. To steam, grease the base of a large steamer with cooking oil spray. Put dim sims in steamer, leaving space between each. Steam in batches unless you have a multi-tiered steamer. Place steamer over a wok or large saucepan of simmering water, cover and steam for about 12 minutes or until cooked through. To shallow fry, fill a large saucepan with oil until 3cm deep. Heat oil until about 170°C. Gently place dim sims in the oil and cook on all sides, turning for about 6-7 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

4.Serve dim sims scattered with shallots, with the chilli oil, soy sauce, chilli sauce and black vinegar on the side for dipping.
