Hints and tips • For an even better texture, make your own coarse mince using hand chopped belly pork. • The importance of slapping the pork filling against the side of the bowl encourages a firmer and spongier texture to the dumplings. • Eco Steam can be used for cooking the dumplings. • The chilli can be stored for months in a sterlised jar in the fridge. Use the steam oven’s Disinfect function to sterilise the jars.
