Steamed Gow Gee - vegan.


Ingredients: 
Store bought gow gee papers (round) - available in the refrigerated section of most supermarkets, or asian grocers
A combination of filling - I used onion, potato, celery, garlic, peas and mushrooms, which I minced by hand to a fine consistency
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cumin
Butter/oil for frying
A little water

Melt butter in a pan over moderate heat. Add your vegetables and cook until soft. Add the spices and stir until combined. 




Lay the gow gee papers out on a clean work surface and spoon a small teaspoon into the centre of each round. 



Using a clean finger or pastry brush, run a little water around 1/2 of the outer rim of the pastry, then fold in half to form a crescent shape. Clip the outer edges together, applying firm pressure, to make the shape. 



Steam for around 3 - 5 minutes, then turn off the heat. Once you've steamed them, tip a little cold water over the top to make them easier to lift from the steamer. 

I served these with a sauce made with sesame oil, honey and white wine vinegar, plus filtered water.
