Step 1

Place mince, garlic, coriander, eggwhite and 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a food processor and process to combine (don't overprocess - mixture should be a little coarse). Use damp hands to roll into walnut-sized balls, then place in fridge.

Step 2

Place stock, lemongrass, ginger, chilli and star anise in a large pan with 2 cups (500ml) water. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer 5 minutes. Cook dumplings in a steamer over simmering stock for 10 minutes, then add them to the stock with the lime juice, remaining soy, sesame oil and fish sauce.

Step 3

Divide among 4 serving bowls. Garnish with garlic chives and Asian herbs. Serve with extra soy and the chilli bean sauce.
