- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 20 dumpling wrappers
Contains: Wheat
Method
- Your child mixes the pork, cabbage, spring onion, ginger and oil.
- Spoon a little onto each wrapper; wet the edge and fold. Small hands pinch the edges.

Tip: Jobs for small hands: pinching the edges. Dumpling-making is an afternoon, not a recipe.
