Dumplings Instructions
In a bowl, combine the pork, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, and tahure, then mix well to combine.
Season with black pepper and a little salt.
Place a wonton wrapper on a board, then add a teaspoon of the mixture in one corner.
Take the corner and fold the wrapper to the centre, tucking it under the meat to form a triangle with a wide base.
Take the two sides of the wrapper and fold it towards the centre. Use water to secure the edges so the filling won't come out when cooking. (Refer to the picture above to help with wrapping the dumplings)
Broth Instructions
Heat the oil in a deep saucepan, then add the garlic and onion. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes or until lightly golden.
Add the chicken and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then pour in the broth. Bring to the boil, season with the patis and black pepper, and simmer for 3 minutes.
Gently place in the dumplings, and boil for about 7 minutes until they are cooked through.
Place some broth and dumplings in a bowl, and garnish with the fried garlic and green onions. Serve.
