Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons Spring onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 20 pieces Dim sum wrappers
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 cups Water
- Low-sodium soy sauce (optional for dipping)
Instructions
Chop the shrimp into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add the ground ginger, chopped spring onions, minced garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and chopped fresh cilantro to the shrimp, and mix well to combine all ingredients.
Place a dim sum wrapper on a clean surface and add a tablespoon of the shrimp filling in the center. Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water.
Fold the wrapper in half over the filling and press the edges together to seal, creating a half-moon shape.
Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Line a bamboo steamer with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking.
Place the dim sum into the lined steamer in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Prepare a pot with 2 cups of water and bring it to a simmer. Place the steamer over the pot, making sure the bottom of the steamer does not touch the water.
Steam the dim sum for 10-12 minutes or until the shrimp are fully cooked and the wrappers are tender.
Serve hot with low-sodium soy sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
