Homemade Shrimp Dumplings with Soy Sauce

Ingredients

• 12 Rice wrappers (For forming the dumplings)
• 250 g Raw peeled shrimp
• 1 Small garlic clove (Minced or grated)
• Fresh ginger (A small piece, approximately 5 g; grated or very finely minced)
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce (For the filling)
• 1 tsp Cornstarch (Level)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce (For the sauce)
• 1 tsp Sesame oil (For the sauce)
• 0.5 tsp Crushed dried chili (Adjust to taste)
• 1 tsp Vinegar (For the sauce)

Steps

1. 1

   Finely chop or grate the shrimp, garlic, and ginger. Place them in a bowl and mix with 1 tbsp of soy sauce and the cornstarch until you have a uniform, slightly bound filling.

2. 2

   Soften a rice wrapper according to the package instructions, usually by briefly dipping it in warm water. Place it on a clean surface and wait a few seconds for it to become flexible, without allowing it to soften too much.

3. 3

   Place a portion of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the sides inward and roll firmly to form a sealed packet. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling until you have 12 dumplings.

4. 4

   Steam the dumplings, keeping them separated so they do not stick together, for approximately 8-10 minutes, until the shrimp are completely opaque and cooked through. Alternatively, they can be browned in a lightly greased skillet after wrapping; the wrapper should remain tender and the edges should be lightly golden.

5. 5

   While the dumplings are cooking, mix 2 tbsp of soy sauce, the sesame oil, crushed chili, and vinegar in a small bowl. Taste and adjust the amount of chili to your preference.

6. 6

   Serve the dumplings hot with the dipping sauce.
