Steamed Dim Sims (Xíu Mại)

Good evening men and women,
Today I'll introduce to you another Vietnamese recipe. It calls "steamed dim sims", you can eat that with bread or rice or anything that you like. It's optional and it is suitable to mix with everything. It's very simple to make, it won't take you a long time! 20 minutes to prepare, 10 minutes to cook and at total 30 minutes! It isn't a long time, is it?
I'll show you how to it.

INGREDIENTS: 
250g pork mince 
1 small fresh red chilli, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 3cm piece fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2 tbs chopped fresh coriander
- 2 tsb fish sauce
- 30 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, lightly whisked

Dipping sauce
- 2 tbs sweet chilli sauce
- 1 1/2 tbs lime juice
- 1 tbs fish sauce

METHOD:
- Step 1: Place the mince, chilli, garlic, ginger, coriander and fish sauce in a bowl. Mix until well combined. Lay the wonton wrappers out in a single layer on a clean surface. Spoon teaspoonfuls of the mixture into the centre of each wonton. Brush the edges of one wonton and bring the edges up to tightly enclose the filling. Press to seal.
- Step 2: Line a large steamer basket with non-stick baking paper. Arrange the wontons over the base of the basket in a single layer. Place the basket over a wok of barely simmer water (making sure the water doesn't touch the base). Cover and steam for 8-10 minutes or until cooked. Transfer to a serving plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining dim sims.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, to make the dipping sauce, combine the sweet chilli sauce, lime juice and fish sauce in a small bowl.
- Step 4: Serve the dim sims with the dipping sauce.

Hope you guys enjoy it. Leave me a comment if you do try to make it at home. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Have a nice day!
