Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 150 grams Rice flour
- 50 grams Tapioca starch
- 200 milliliters Water, boiling
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
Instructions
Start by making the dough for the wrappers. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour and tapioca starch.
Slowly pour the boiling water into the flour mixture while stirring continuously with a wooden spoon. Mix until it forms a soft dough.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the shrimp filling. Finely chop the shrimp and place it in a bowl.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, salt, sugar, white pepper, sesame oil, and cornstarch to the shrimp. Mix until well combined.
After the dough has rested, divide it into small pieces, roughly the size of a walnut.
Roll each piece of dough into a thin circle on a lightly floured surface.
Place a small spoonful of the shrimp filling in the center of each circle.
Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil in the bottom pot.
Arrange the shrimp dim sum in a single layer on a parchment-lined steamer basket or tray, ensuring they don't touch each other.
Place the steamer basket over the boiling water, cover, and steam for 10-12 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through and the wrappers are slightly translucent.
Serve hot straight from the steamer. Enjoy your soy-free shrimp dim sum!
