24 wonton wrappers
lettuce leaf, for steaming
Filling
½ lb(225 g) firm bean curd, finely chopped
¼ lb (110 g) soybeans, cooked and mashed
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh coriander leaves
3 tbsp (45 mL) celery, finely chopped
2 chinese mushrooms, soaked in warm water for 20 minutes and chopped
2 tsp (10 mL) soy sauce
¼ tsp (1 mL) sesame oil
salt and pepper
1. Combine all filling ingredients. Place 2 tsp (10 mL) filling onto each wonton wrapper. Gather outer edges of skin around filling in a cup shape. Press gently so that filling rises to the top of wrapper. The base should be flat.
2. Place a lettuce leaf in steamer. Arrange dim sum on top, leaving space between each to prevent sticking.
3. Steam 10 minutes. Serve with soy vinegar dip.
