Ingredients
Dumplings
300 g (10 oz) minced chicken
150 g (5 oz) minced pork
2 lup cheong, finely sliced
2 tablespoons garlic chives, finely chopped
2 coriander (cilantro) roots, washed and finely chopped
2 red bird’s eye chillies, seeded and finely chopped
3 spring onions, finely sliced
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
18 round white dumpling skins
Soup
50 g (1 1/2 oz) dried rice-stick noodles
1 litre (2 pints) Asian brown chicken stock
2 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1/2 bunch Chinese broccoli, stems peeled and finely sliced, leaves finely shredded
80 g (2 1/2 oz) wood ear mushrooms, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 tablespoon fried garlic
Preparation
Dumplings
Combine the chicken and pork in a mixing bowl and work the mixture with your hands for several minutes until it becomes slightly elastic (this will help the filling to hold together). Add the remaining ingredients apart from the dumpling skins and mix thoroughly.
Lay the dumpling skins out on a bench. Place 2 teaspoons of filling in the centre of each one and lightly brush the edges with water. Bring the sides together to create half-moon shapes and press the edges shut.
Soup
Cover the noodles with boiling water and leave for a minute or until tender. Drain and refresh under cold water.
Steam the dumplings for 7 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the chicken stock, oyster sauce and soy to the boil in a medium-sized pot. Taste for seasoning. When the stock boils add the rice noodles, Chinese broccoli and wood ear mushrooms, then remove from the heat. Divide the dumplings and soup between serving bowls and garnish with pepper and fried garlic.

Hot Tips
Re-hydrating dried mushrooms
Dried mushrooms, such as porcini, are a great store cupboard back up. Soak in boiling water for 30 minutes to revive them. Strain the soaking liquid and add to the dish for extra flavour.
