Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, and finely chopped)
- 2 stalks green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
- 24 pieces wonton wrappers
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (for greasing steamer)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, green onions, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until the shrimp mixture is well combined. Set aside.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the shrimp filling into the center of the wrapper.
Dampen the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water. Gather the edges around the filling to form a small pouch, pleating as desired, and pinch gently to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Prepare a steamer by lining the basket with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with vegetable oil to prevent the dumplings from sticking.
Arrange the dumplings in the steamer basket, leaving a bit of space between each one to avoid sticking.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and place the steamer basket over the pot. Cover with a lid and steam the dumplings for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp filling is fully cooked and opaque.
Carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve immediately with soy sauce, chili oil, or your favorite dipping sauce.
