Ingredients

Dough

1 cup wheat starch

2/3 cup tapioca starch

1/2 tsp. salt

1 cup boiling water

2 tsp. oil

Filling

12 oz. prawns cleaned

3/4 cup bamboo shoots minced

1 spring onion, minced

2 1/2 tbs. cornstarch

1 tsp. sesame oil

1 tsp. light soy sauce

1/2 tsp. white pepper

4 tsp. salt

1/2 cup oil

Directions

Combine all the filling ingredients and refrigerate for three hours. Mix the dry dough ingredients thoroughly, then add the water and stir until a dough mixture forms. Cover and let stand for fifteen minutes. Knead the dough on an oiled surface for five minutes. Roll the dough out as thinly as possible and cut into rounds about three inches in diameter. To make the bonnets, pinch each round at three evenly spaced points on the edge to form pleats, the result of which will produce a little pouch. Fill each pouch with a teaspoon of filling. Pinch the edge as many times as needed to make enough pleats to close the pouch. Place the bonnets in a lightly oiled cake or pie pan, pleats up, and then into a steamer for fifteen minutes.
