- 260g spinach

- 150g raw prawns, finely chopped
- 4 spring onions, finely chopped
- 4cm piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 1 tbsp. tamari or soy sauce
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 36 dumpling wrappers

Preparation
- Place the spinach in a colander and pour over boiling water. Refresh under cold running water and drain. When cool enough to handle, squeeze all excess water from the spinach and chop finely.
- Combine the spinach, water chestnuts, prawns, spring onions, ginger and tamari in a bowl.
- Take a dumpling wrapper and using your finger, lightly coat the edge of one side of the wrapper with the beaten egg. Place a heaped teaspoon of the mixture into the centre of the wrapper, taking care not to over-fill. Fold over to make a semi-circle. Pinch the edges together to create a dumpling shape.
- Lightly grease your steamer tray, using the groundnut oil.
- Steam for 10 minutes per batch, depending on the size of your steamer.
- Serve with your favourite dipping sauce.
