In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and water. Knead the mixture for about five minutes until it forms a smooth dough. If it’s too sticky, add a pinch more flour.

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and allow it to rest for about 15 minutes.

While the dough rests, finely chop the prawns and mix them in a bowl with chives, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

Once rested, divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a walnut). Roll each ball out into a thin circle, approximately 3-4 inches in diameter.

Place about a teaspoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold it over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

You can either steam or pan-fry the dumplings. For steaming, place them in a steamer basket and steam for about 10-12 minutes until fully cooked.

For pan-frying, heat a little oil in a skillet, add the dumplings, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Add a splash of water and cover to steam for another 5 minutes.

Serve hot with a dipping sauce or enjoy them plain.
