soy sauce 1 Tbsp
garlic clove 2, crushed

1 Combine the chestnuts, sliced scallions, mince, 1 tsp sesame oil, soy sauce, 1 clove garlic and 2 tsp ginger in a bowl. Place a heaped teaspoon of the mixture in the centre of each wrapper.

2 Brush the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Fold in half to make a semi-circle shape and press the edges together. Repeat with remaining mixture.

Reduce the heat to low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and steam for 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining vegetable oil and gyozas.
