Dumpling Method
Mix all ingredients for the filling in a metal bowl using your hands until fully combined.
Roll the prawn filling mixture into a ball and start slapping it into the side of the bowl to work the meat and make it elastic.
Beat egg (to be used to seal the dumpling).
To form dumpling, place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of the wrapper, using a pastry brush moisten the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg and seal by folding in half and pinching the bottom-right corner closed. Pleat the front edge of the wrapper repeatedly, pinching the edge closed after each pleat until the entire dumpling is sealed
Put dumplings in the steamer until cooked.
When dumplings are cooked, pour Gati Sauce over it and serve.
