Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Lean ground chicken
- 100 grams Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, low sodium
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 stalks Scallions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 25 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 medium Carrot, finely grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Finely chop the shrimp and combine with ground chicken in a large mixing bowl.
Add soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped scallions, cornstarch, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with meat. Mix well to combine the flavors.
Bring a pot with at least 2 inches of water to a simmer, then prepare your steamer basket by lining it with a parchment paper.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add about 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture to the center of the wrapper.
Gather up the sides of the wrapper, forming an open-topped dumpling, and gently squeeze to secure the filling.
Use a small pinch of grated carrot to garnish the top of each shumai.
Repeat until all the filling is used, arranging each shumai in the steamer basket with a bit of space between them.
Place the steamer basket over the pot of simmering water. Cover and steam for 8-10 minutes, until the shumai are cooked through.
Remove the shumai from the steamer carefully and serve hot, optionally with a side of soy sauce for dipping.
