Make the Dumplings

  • Remove from the pan and immediately place on a plate or tray and put in the fridge or freezer to cool quickly.
  • Blot any excess moisture, chop the spinach roughly and mix with the tofu, chilis, soy, sesame and cornstarch. Mix well, seasoning to taste.
  • Spread 6 of the wonton wrappers on the worktable and moisten the edges with a little water.
  • Spoon 1½ teaspoons of the filling in the middle of each dumpling.
  • Fold 1 corner of each dumpling on to the opposite corner to create a triangle shape, moistening if necessary.

Make the Dipping Sauce

  • Mix all of the ingredients well and pour into small dishes

Cook the Dumplings

  • Steam or pan-fry the dumplings and serve with a dipping sauce, sprinkled with the sesame seeds and fresh coriander.
