Description:
Cantonese-style dim sums are small, savory snacks traditionally enjoyed in China, particularly in the Cantonese region.

In this recipe, sweet corn and tofu are combined to create a flavorful filling, wrapped in delicate wonton wrappers, and steamed to perfection.
Ingredients:
For the Wonton Wrappers:
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (Maida)
- 1 tablespoon Oil
- Salt to taste
For the Stuffing:
- 2 Onions, sliced
- 1/2 cup Tofu, chopped finely
- 1/2 cup Sweet Corn
- 5 Garlic cloves, chopped
- 1-inch Ginger, finely chopped
- 2 sprigs Spring Onion (both bulb & greens)
- 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chilli Vinegar
- Salt to taste
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Wonton Wrappers:
- In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, oil, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water as needed to form a soft dough.
- Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
-
Prepare the Stuffing:
- In a pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, chopped garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onions become soft and translucent.
- Add the chopped tofu, sweet corn, and spring onions (both bulb and greens). Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Stir in the soy sauce, chilli vinegar, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and let the stuffing cool.
-
Assemble the Dumplings:
- After the dough has rested, roll it out into a thin sheet. Use a round cutter or a cup to cut out small circles (about 3 inches in diameter).
- Place a spoonful of the tofu and sweet corn stuffing in the center of each wrapper.
- Fold the wrapper over the stuffing to form a half-moon shape, sealing the edges by pressing them together.
-
Steam the Dumplings:
- Line a steamer basket with parchment paper to prevent the dumplings from sticking. Arrange the dumplings in the steamer, ensuring they don’t touch each other.
- Steam the dumplings over boiling water for 10-15 minutes or until they become tender and cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the steamed dumplings hot with a dipping sauce made of soy sauce and chili vinegar, or enjoy them on their own as a delicious snack or appetizer.
