Scallop & Chive Dumplings

Recipe By Courtney Roulston

Ingredients

• 16 wonton wrappers 

• 16 large Coles scallops (around 200 g)

• 8 tbs chives, finely sliced 

• 2 tsp sesame oil 

• 2 tbs ginger, peeled and finely chopped 

• ½ tsp Coles sugar 

• 2 tbs light soy sauce 

• 4 tbs extra virgin olive oil 

• 1 lemon 

• cracked black pepper to serve 

Method

• Bring to a medium heat a generous splash of extra virgin olive oil. Place the ginger and 1 tbs of chives into a small heat-proof bowl. Heat the oil until nearly smoking. Pour the oil over the ginger to scald. Stir in the remaining soy sauce, sesame oil, a squeeze of lemon juice and cracked pepper.

• Bring a large high-sided frying pan of water up to a simmer. Chop half the scallops into a rough mince and slice remaining in half vertically. Place the minced scallop into a mixing bowl and add in 6 tbs chives, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tbs ginger, sugar, 1 tbs soy and a pinch of sea salt. Mix together until well combined. 

• Working in batches of 8, place the wonton wrappers onto a clean work surface. Place a tsp full of the scallop mixture into the middle of the wrappers. Top each one with 1 piece of the chunkier scallop meat. Brush a little water around the outside of 2 sides of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half on the diagonal to make a triangle pocket. Repeat with all the wrappers. 

• Gently lower 8 dumplings into the gently simmering water and cook for 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and repeat with remaining dumplings.

• Serve the dumplings in bowls and drizzle with a little of the dressing. Garnish with a few fresh chives before serving.
