Dim sum is one of our favourite Asian snacks and we think that these slimming friendly versions are even better than the ones that you can get from the takeaway.

We usually make our own pasta mix and use that to wrap our Sui Mai, but we thought that might get a little complicated to follow!  We’ve eaten Sui Mai wrapped in pak choi before and thought we’d try the same with Chinese leaf to cut down the amount of calories and Points in this recipe without compromising on flavour!

These Pork and Prawn Sui Mai are ready in a jiffy and the dipping sauce is so versatile that it also works really well when served alongside a range of other Asian dishes!

These Pork and Prawn Sui Mai are perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet and fit well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers.

Step 1

Place the pork into a food processor and blitz on high until smooth. It might be best to use the pulse action on your processor so as not to overwork.. Remove and place in a large bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Do the same with the prawns, again on high until smooth. Tip them into the bowl with the pork. Don’t be tempted to put the prawns and pork in at the same time, it’s best to do them separately to get an even consistency.

Step 3

Add the soy sauce, spring onion, grated ginger, rice vinegar, salt and pepper and mix well with your hands until the prawn and pork are evenly distributed in the mix.

Step 4

Take the cabbage leaves and cut out the center of the stalks. Place two leaves end to end on top of a piece of clingfilm.

Step 5

Shape some of the mix into a rough sausage shape, and place in the leaves. Roll the leaves around the filling and place into the fridge for a few minutes whilst you make the rest.

Step 6

Line your steamer with a circle of baking parchment, making sure to cut some holes out to allow the steam to circulate. Spray the parchment with low calorie cooking spray.

Step 7

Take the rolls from the fridge and remove the cling film. With a sharp knife cut the cabbage roll into pieces approx 3cm/1inch thick and place into the steamer.

Step 8

Top the sui mai with some of the grated carrot.

Step 9

Place a saucepan of water onto a medium heat and bring to the boil. Place your steamer on top of the pan and steam for 12 minutes.

Step 10

While your sui mai are steaming, mix your dipping sauce ingredients and place in a small dip bowl.

Step 11

Remove the sui mai from the steamer and serve with the dipping sauce.
