Combine all the filling ingredients in a bowl and use your hands to massage together until well mixed. Chill for several hours.

When ready to make the dumplings arrange the table with small bowls of water, a small bowl of flour, the filling mixture, and the dumpling skins. We laid down newspaper as it gets a little messy.

To make a dumpling, remove a skin from the packet and hold it in your palm while scooping a teaspoon of the filling mix into the middle. Dip your finger into the water and moisten the edge of the dumpling skin [this will help it to stick together]. First fold over and press together firmly in the middle, then press and pleat the edges to come together into a curved crescent shape. Make sure the edges are sealed nice and tight. Arrange dumplings in a single layer on a lightly floured plate.

To cook heat a frying pan over a med/ high heat with a little oil in the base. Once hot place the dumplings into the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes. Meanwhile combine 2/3 cup water and 1 teaspoon flour in a small jug. Pour this over the dumplings, cover with a lid and cook for about 10 minutes until the water has been absorbed. Check the bottom of the dumplings are brown then flip and cook for another few minutes til golden. Serve with dipping sauce.
