1.
Make a smooth, silky dough from flour, vinegar, oil and about 150 ml water. Roll it thinly and cut out circles 8–10 cm in diameter. Mix shrimp, spring onions, ginger, sesame oil, sugar and salt well. Place the filling in the center of each circle. Fold each circle over, alternating the seam side into folds to create a zig‑zag seam. Place in an oiled bamboo basket and steam for about 8 minutes.
