Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 50 grams water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 2 pieces green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 piece egg white
- 30 pieces dumpling wrappers
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bottle dipping sauce (optional)
Instructions
Finely chop the shrimp or pulse them in a food processor until they reach a chunky paste consistency.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, water chestnuts, green onions, sesame oil, soy sauce, cornstarch, egg white, salt, pepper, ginger, and garlic. Mix well to combine.
Place about 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it in half over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Pinch or pleat the edges to seal them securely.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a gentle boil.
Carefully place the dumplings in the boiling water, ensuring they do not stick to each other. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface and the shrimp is cooked through.
Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a bed of paper towels.
Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
