Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 pieces Water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 20 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 50 milliliters Water
- 1 can Non-stick cooking spray (optional for steaming)
Instructions
In a food processor, pulse the raw shrimp until it becomes a chunky paste. Avoid over-pulsing as you want some texture.
Transfer the shrimp paste to a bowl and mix in the finely chopped water chestnuts, green onion, grated ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Stir until well combined.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of the shrimp filling to the center of the wrapper.
Using your finger, wet the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water. Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal. Pleat the edges if desired for a traditional look.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling until all dumplings are assembled.
Prepare your steamer by lining it with parchment paper or lightly spraying with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Bring water to a simmer in the base of your steamer or a large pot. Place the dumplings in the steamer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Steam the dumplings for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp filling turns opaque and is cooked through.
Carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer and transfer to a plate. Serve immediately with a side of low-sodium dipping sauce if desired.
