Description

Ingredients

• For the filling:
• ½ pound raw shrimp, peeled, de-veined and patted dry
• 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• ¼ teaspoon white pepper
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon minced ginger
• ¼ cup finely chopped bamboo shoots
• For the dough:
• 1 cup wheat starch
• ½ cup cornstarch (or tapioca starch)
• 1¼ cups boiling water (add an additional 1 to 2 teaspoons in dryer climates)
• 3 teaspoons lard (or oil)

Directions

• For the filling:
• Mix everything (except the bamboo) together; whip in one direction for a few minutes until the mixture starts to look sticky. Now add the chopped bamboo shoots, and mix everything together. Cover and refrigerate while preparing the dough.
• For the dough:
• Mix the wheat starch and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Slowly add in the boiling water, while stirring rapidly. Now add in the lard (or oil) and continue to stir. Knead the dough for a couple of minutes, until it turns into a smooth dough ball. Roll the dough into a long cylinder, and divide it into 18 equal pieces. Cover the dough pieces with a damp paper towel.
• To assemble and cook the dumplings:
• Turn on the stove to pre-boil the water in the steamer. Take one piece of dough and roll it into a 3” diameter circle. Add a spoonful of filling and fold the dumpling as shown in our video. Continue assembling until all the dumplings are made.
• Once the water in the steamer is boiled, steam the shrimp dumplings for 6 minutes using high heat and serve hot. Make sure that they each have an inch and a half to expand during the cooking process.
