Instructions
- For grounded shrimp, press down with the back of a knife until it flattens. Mince all of it with a knife.
- Add all the ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined. Optional step: Stir in one direction for 30 seconds or until you get a thick paste-like consistency. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Place 1/2 tbsp of filling at the center of the dumpling wrapper.
- Dip your finger in water and lightly wet all 4 side edges of the wrapper.
- Fold the wrapper in half and push out any air bubbles. Very important step to ensure the dumplings don’t burst while cooking.
- Wet the bottom corners of the wrapper and bring them together, meeting at the bottom center.
- Use the wet corners to seal it. Repeat until you finish all the filling.
- Mix all the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add your dumplings. Dumplings are fully cooked when they float.
- Remove the dumplings and add to a serving plate. Drizzle the sauce all over or serve on the side. Garnish with green onions. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you’re not a fan of cilantro, feel free to skip.
- Adjust the amount of chili oil for the sauce according to preference.
- To know if the filling is well seasoned, take 1/2 tbsp of the filling and microwave it for 30 – 60 seconds. Taste it and adjust accordingly to your taste.
- If you prefer chunks of shrimp in your dumplings, skip the mincing step.
- This is my favorite way to fold dumplings, fold it to however you prefer.
