Instructions

1. Finely chop the prawns and pork, then mix them with the sliced shallots, sugar, fish sauce, salt and pepper. Let rest for 15 minutes.
2. Fry the filling in an oiled pan over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes, until cooked and dry. Let cool.
3. For the dough, pour the boiling water over the starch and mix quickly with a spoon, then add the oil and knead until smooth and elastic.
4. Divide the dough into 12 portions, flatten each into a disc and place a spoonful of filling in the centre.
5. Pinch the edges closed to form a small translucent ball, then place each dumpling on an oiled banana leaf.
6. Steam for 10 to 12 minutes, until the dough turns translucent. Serve with the sauce and fried shallots.
