Ingredients | Turnip Cake Dim Sum Recipe

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

5 whole black peppercorns

2 cloves garlic, peeled

salt to taste

2 cilantro stems, chopped

5 ounces ground pork

5 ounces shrimp, minced

5 water chestnuts, minced

1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

1 tablespoon white sugar

1 teaspoon fish sauce

1 teaspoon tapioca starch

1 teaspoon light soy sauce

½ teaspoon salt

25 wonton wrappers, or as needed

3 tablespoons rice vinegar

3 tablespoons light soy sauce

1 tablespoon white sugar

2 scallions, sliced into thin rings

1 bird's eye chile, or more to taste (Optional)

Directions

Heat vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat; add minced garlic. Slowly cook garlic until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.

Crush peppercorns using a mortar and pestle until powdery. Add peeled garlic and a pinch of salt; crush into a paste. Mix cilantro stems into the paste.

Mix paste, pork, shrimp, water chestnuts, dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon white sugar, fish sauce, tapioca starch, light soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Spoon 1 to 2 teaspoons pork-shrimp mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling, sealing the edges together and creating a purse-like pouch.

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add wontons, cover, and steam until the filling is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Whisk rice vinegar, light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon white sugar, scallions, and bird's eye chile together in a bowl until dipping sauce is well mixed.

Serve Khanom Jeeb with a drizzle of garlic oil and dipping sauce on the side.
