  • Cornflour. - 1tbsp

Directions to make the dumplings :

  • Mix cornflour in water, add pepper powder, chilli sauce and ginger paste to the mixture.
  • No need to add salt as you will have salt in the sauce, however if you wish you can add very little salt to this mixture.
  • Dip the broccoli florets into this mixture so that they are coated from all the sides and deep fry them.
  • Remove them from oil when they change color to slight reddish brown.
Directions to make sauce :

  • In a wok, add sesame oil ( or vegetable oil ), heat it, and add finely chopped ginger, finely chopped garlic.
  • Add chopped spring onions, green chillies, black pepper powder, soy sauce, chilli paste, ajinomoto, very little salt.
  • The sauce is now ready for manchurian.
To make manchurian :
  • Add the broccoli dumplings to the sauce and toss them.
  • The sauce should be just enough to coat the dumplings on all the sides .
  • Garnish with finely chopped spring onions.
