Dumplings are the ultimate comfort food — versatile, fun to fold, and even better to share. With Lian Huat Dumpling Pastry, you can skip the dough-making and dive straight into the fun part: filling, folding, and cooking.

Here are four creative flavour ideas you can try, all using the same simple steps to wrap and cook.

Step 1: Choose Your Filling

Classic Pork & Chive

  • 300g minced pork
  • 1 cup chopped chives
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • Pinch of pepper

Prawn & Coriander

  • 250g prawns, chopped
  • ½ cup fresh coriander, chopped
  • 1 tbsp of crushed garlic
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • ½ tsp sesame oil

Mushroom & Spinach (Vegetarian)

  • 200g shiitake mushrooms, finely diced
  • 1 cup spinach, blanched & chopped
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp miso paste

Kimchi Beef Fusion

  • 300g minced beef

  • 1 tsp sugar

Mix your chosen filling until well combined.

Step 2: Wrap Your Dumplings

Place a Lian Huat dumpling pastry in your palm.

Add 1–2 teaspoons of filling.

Moisten the edges with water, fold, and seal.

For variety, try pleats, half-moons, or “money bag” folds.

Cover finished dumplings with a damp cloth to keep them soft.

Step 3: Cook Them Your Way

Boiled Dumplings (Shuǐjiǎo)

  • Bring water to a boil.
  • Add dumplings, stir gently.
  • When they float, cook for 2–3 more minutes until filling is done.

Pan-Fried Dumplings (Guōtiē)

  • Heat 2 tbsp oil in a non-stick pan.
  • Fry dumplings flat-side down until golden.
  • Add ½ cup water, cover, and steam 5–6 minutes.
  • Remove lid and fry for crisp bottoms.

Steamed Dumplings (Zhēngjiǎo)

  • Line steamer with baking paper.
  • Arrange dumplings with space between them.
  • Steam 8–10 minutes until cooked through.
