I blitz it all in the food processor less about 6 prawns (shrimp) and roughly chop those for texture.<BR/>If you get flour and water and mix to a dough then knead as for making bread, rest for 1 hour then wash and rinse under water for about 15 minutes-that is the gluten that is left (vegetarian protein.) If you catch the milky water and dry it the resulting powder is wheat starch-but yes some gluten remains.<BR/>All the best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104208349190221469.post-71654164268655477992007-03-19T11:15:00.000-07:002007-03-19T11:15:00.000-07:00Hi K and welcome.

After some digging online, I found that wheat starch is wheat flour that has most of the proteins removed but not all so it's not completely gluten free. Sorry about that, I'll change it on the post. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476501320662187793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104208349190221469.post-39825931690655986852007-03-19T00:13:00.000-07:002007-03-19T00:13:00.000-07:00Wheat starch has no gluten?

It is a little more translucent with only tapioca starch though. This makes me crave some dumplings right now!Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104208349190221469.post-25895402490982914652007-03-18T14:44:00.000-07:002007-03-18T14:44:00.000-07:00A bit of pork fat is always helpful, too, and it's...A bit of pork fat is always helpful, too, and it's what I use in mine.

Thanks for the suggestion!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476501320662187793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104208349190221469.post-45681467668025125292007-03-18T04:32:00.000-07:002007-03-18T04:32:00.000-07:00Here via Tastespotting.

My first question upon reading the ingredient list: are you sure you want to put oyster sauce in the filling? It always tastes artificial to me. Maybe for a bit of extra "umami" you can substitute a bit of soy sauce, minced shitakes, or even non-Chinese fish sauce?Un-Swiss Misshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347919880318481886noreply@blogger.com
