Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Plant-based shrimp
- 100 grams Shiitake mushrooms
- 100 grams Cabbage
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 30 pieces Dumpling wrappers
- 2 stalks Spring onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Chop the plant-based shrimp into small pieces and set aside.
Dice the shiitake mushrooms finely. Shred the cabbage and grate the carrot. Mince the ginger and garlic, and finely chop the spring onions.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, mushrooms, cabbage, carrot, ginger, garlic, and spring onions.
Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper to the vegetable mixture. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Lay out a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and run it along the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half and press the edges together to seal, creating a pleat if desired. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Prepare a steamer by bringing about 2 cups of water to a boil in a pot with the steamer insert placed above the water level.
Line the steamer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking, and arrange the prepared dumplings in the steamer, leaving space between each one.
Steam the dumplings for about 10-12 minutes, until the wrappers become translucent and the filling is hot throughout.
Serve the vegetarian shrimp dim sum hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy your delicious homemade dim sum!
