Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup Napa cabbage, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Rice wine vinegar
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Chop the shrimp into small pieces and place in a mixing bowl.
Add finely chopped napa cabbage, green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the bowl with shrimp.
Pour in low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of a wonton wrapper.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
Use your finger to brush the edges of the wrapper with the cornstarch slurry to help seal.
Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together tightly. Use a fork to crimp the edges or pleat them for a traditional look, ensuring the dumplings are fully sealed.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a steamer lined with parchment paper or cabbage leaves, place the dumplings in a single layer so they don't touch.
Steam over boiling water for 8-10 minutes or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.
Serve hot with a side of extra low sodium soy sauce or a dipping sauce of your choice.
