Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Shrimp
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 24 pieces Round dumpling wrappers
- 1 tablespoon Cooking oil
Instructions
Peel and devein the shrimp, then chop them into small pieces.
Pat the tofu dry with a paper towel, then crumble it into a bowl.
Combine the chopped shrimp and crumbled tofu in a mixing bowl.
Add the green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg white, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper to the shrimp and tofu mixture. Stir until well combined.
Lay a dumpling wrapper in the palm of your hand.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edge of the wrapper with a little water, then fold the wrapper in half over the filling and press the edges firmly to seal. Ensure there are no air bubbles.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Arrange the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer, leaving some space between each one.
Cook the dumplings for about 2 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover it with a tight-fitting lid to steam the dumplings.
Let the dumplings steam for 5-6 minutes, or until the wrappers become translucent and the filling is cooked through.
Remove the lid and allow the remaining water to evaporate. Cook for an additional minute to crisp the bottoms again.
Serve the shrimp dim sum hot, optionally with a dipping sauce of soy sauce and rice vinegar.
