Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 rolling pin
  • 1 steamer basket or bamboo steamer
  • 1 cooking pot for steaming
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup shrimp, peeled and deveined About 200g.
  • 1 cup cabbage, finely chopped About 100g.
  • ½ cup carrots, grated About 50g.
  • 2 pieces green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 20 pieces round dumpling wrappers

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, cabbage, carrots, green onions, garlic, and ginger.
  • Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  • Take one dumpling wrapper and place about a tablespoon of the shrimp mixture in the center.
  • Moisten the edges of the dumpling wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Prepare your steamer by filling the bottom with water and bringing it to a boil. If using a bamboo steamer, line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Place the dumplings in the steamer in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch each other.
  • Cover and steam the dumplings for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and the shrimp is opaque.
  • Once done, carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve them warm with your choice of dipping sauce.

Notes

You can adjust the fillings according to your taste by adding other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers.
If you prefer crispy dumplings, you can pan-fry them after steaming: heat a little oil in a frying pan, add the dumplings, and cook until golden on the bottom.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
