Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Raw prawns (peeled, deveined)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 1 teaspoon Hoisin sauce
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 90 milliliters Hot water
Instructions
1. In a food processor, combine the prawns, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, white pepper, and hoisin sauce. Pulse until a slightly chunky paste forms. Transfer the filling to a bowl and refrigerate while preparing the wrappers.
2. To make the dumpling wrappers, place the all-purpose flour in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Slowly pour in the hot water while stirring with a utensil or chopsticks to form a rough dough.
3. Once cool enough to handle, knead the dough on a clean surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
4. After resting, divide the dough into two equal pieces. Roll each piece into a log and cut into equal portions (about 30 small pieces). Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a thin round wrapper about 3 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.
5. Place about 1 teaspoon of the prawn filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half, sealing the edges well with your fingers. You can pleat the edges for a traditional dumpling appearance if desired.
6. Line a bamboo steamer tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Arrange the dumplings in the steamer, ensuring they do not touch each other.
7. Set up a steaming pot with water and bring it to a boil. Place the bamboo steamer on top, ensuring the water does not touch the dumplings. Steam the dumplings for 8-10 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.
8. Serve the steamed prawn dumplings hot with soy sauce or chili oil on the side for dipping.
