Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground chicken or turkey (lean)
• 200 grams Firm tofu (crumbled)
• 1 medium Carrot (grated)
• 100 grams Cabbage (finely shredded)
• 4 stalks Spring onions (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 Egg (beaten)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 30 sheets Wonton wrappers
• 3 tablespoons Dipping sauce of choice (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or turkey, crumbled tofu, grated carrot, shredded cabbage, chopped spring onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper until evenly mixed.

Step 2

Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.

Step 3

Lightly dampen the edges of the wonton wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal tightly. You can pleat the edges for added decoration, if desired.

Step 4

Repeat the process with the remaining filling and wonton wrappers until all dim sims are assembled.

Step 5

Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or a layer of cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Arrange the dim sims in the basket, making sure they don’t touch or overlap.

Step 6

Bring water to a boil in a large pot or wok. Place the steamer basket over the boiling water and cover with the lid.

Step 7

Steam the dim sims for 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are tender.

Step 8

Serve the steamed dim sims hot with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
