Iris' Pork and Chive Dumplings

Iris’ Pork and Chive Dumplings are super versatile and easy to cook straight from the freezer. Here’s how:

Pan-Fry (our favourite method): Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan, add the frozen dumplings, and cook for 2–3 minutes until they’re golden underneath. Then, pour in about ¼ cup of water, cover with a lid, and steam for 8–10 minutes. Once the water evaporates, the bottoms will crisp up again.

Steam: Pop them in a steamer basket over boiling water for 15–20 minutes. This gives you a soft, juicy dumpling, perfect if you’re after that dim sum vibe.

Boil: Drop them into boiling water and cook until they float (around 8–10 minutes). This is a lighter option and works well if you want to add them to soup.

Whichever way you cook them, don’t forget to dip them in Iris’ homemade chilli oil, included in every pack and made to perfectly complement the dumpling’s rich, savoury flavour.

Yes! These dumplings are made with quality, wholesome ingredients, just way Iris makes them for her own family.

They’re made with:

Free-range pork – a great source of protein and naturally rich in flavour

Fresh Chinese chives – full of antioxidants, vitamins A, C and K, and a real immunity booster

No nasties – no artificial preservatives, fillers, or additives, just simple, honest ingredients

Balanced nutrition – a serve of 6 dumplings is around 280 calories, with a good mix of protein, carbs and healthy fats

Good to know: They contain gluten and soy and are made in a kitchen that also handles eggs and dairy. They’re perfect for anyone wanting a more nourishing, home-cooked alternative to heavily processed frozen meals.

There’s a big difference between Iris’ dumplings and the ones you’ll find in the supermarket, everythign here is handmade including the dumpling pastry.

These dumplings are:

Handmade with care – Iris folds each one by hand, using a family recipe that’s been passed down through generations

Made with better ingredients – like free-range pork, fresh chives, and house-made wrappers – no fillers, no artificial flavours - these are a staple of her children's lunchboxes!

Small batch, always – nothing mass-produced here. Just fresh dumplings made weekly by a real person who loves what she does

Complete with chilli oil – every pack includes Iris’ homemade chilli oil, infused with Sichuan pepper and garlic.

Full of heart – by choosing these, you’re supporting a local cook, not a faceless factory. It’s food with soul, made by someone who truly cares.
