1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
METHOD
For dumplings
To cook the dumplings, steam them in a steamer basket for 9 minutes from frozen.
Remember if steaming multiple baskets to rotate them, so take the basket from the bottom first.
Serve warm with sauces and garnish with some spring onions, chives, ginger and coriander.
For spring onion and ginger oil sauce
Heat the oil until hot in a small saucepan. Prepare ginger and add it to a mixing bowl. Add in the rest of the ingredients, and then add the spring onion. Pour the oil over the spring onion and ginger mixture and allow to sit for 5 mins before serving. Be careful when pouring the oil as it will spit.
For Sichuan chilli sauce
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly together in a bowl. Make sure its not too runny, so it coats the Dumplings.
