Ingredients

250g pork mince

2 garlic cloves

1 knob of ginger

2 cups cabbage, finely shredded

1 carrot, grated

2 spring onions, finely sliced

3 tbsp oyster sauce

pinch of pepper

1 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp sweet chilli (or honey)

3 tbsp water

1 tsp sesame seeds

12 rice paper sheets

To Serve

Spring onion greens, finely sliced

Toasted sesame seeds

Chilli oil

Method

1. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork mince and cook, breaking it up with a spoon until browned.

2. Add the garlic, ginger, cabbage, carrot and spring onions. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened.

3. Stir through the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, water, pepper and sesame seeds. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes until the mixture is well combined and most of the liquid has evaporated.

4. Remove from the heat and allow the filling to cool.

5. One at a time, take one rice paper sheet and dip into a bowl of water, then place onto a clean surface.

6. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of filling onto the bottom third of the rice paper. Fold the bottom edge up over the filling, fold in both sides, then continue rolling tightly to form a dumpling. Repeat with the remaining filling.

7. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the dumplings for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden, crispy and heated through.

8. Transfer to a serving plate and finish with spring onion greens, sesame seeds and a drizzle of chilli oil.
