Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 50 grams water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 24 pieces small wonton wrappers
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Finely chop the shrimp by hand or using a food processor, being careful not to puree them.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, water chestnuts, green onions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Place about 1 teaspoon of the shrimp mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper.
Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it in half to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal.
Spray a steamer basket with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the dim sum from sticking.
Arrange the dim sum in the steamer basket, leaving space between them to ensure even cooking.
Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil, then place the steamer basket over the pot.
Cover and steam over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp turn opaque and are cooked through.
Carefully remove the steamed dim sum from the basket and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
