Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 large Egg whites
- 100 grams Firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 30 pieces Dumpling wrappers
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Chop the shrimp into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Crumble the firm tofu into the bowl with the shrimp.
Add the egg whites, soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined, forming the dumpling filling.
Place a dumpling wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about a tablespoon of the shrimp mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, then fold the wrapper over to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal, creating pleats if desired.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Arrange the dumplings in the skillet, making sure they are not touching.
Cook the dumplings for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for about 5 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms.
Transfer the cooked dumplings to a plate and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
