I was feeling brave and it was looking so good! Until they finished cooking and then I wasn’t feeling quite so confident 🤣 More work required if I’m completely honest x

If the wrapper was too thick, maybe cut in half next time? I’ve got some rice paper so I’ll try with different size.

I think they were too big and ended up folded over several times on the top - I’ll try again with smaller ones thank you 🙏

It might be because of different points Sonia
• Your rice sheet might be too big therefore you over fold them.
• They are ready made and dry out quickly, once steamed it will hydrated the rice paper even more. It might help moisture the rice paper by lightly brush the vegetable oil before you steam
• It might be wrong type of wrap. You can make your own gluten free wrappers I have recipe on my Har gow recipe 🥰 1 cup of rice flour, 1/4 cup corn flour, pinch of salt and 1 cup of water. Mix them all up and form them into ball (same way as making dumpling wrappers) 🥰x x x

Yui thank you for your advice. They looked so good before steaming so I was disappointed they weren’t better after cooking!! I think they were too big as I had folded them over too much on top. And also as you know my steamer is homemade and I think not good enough for dumplings - time to buy a proper one I think!!
