Shrimp Scallion Dumpling
Ingredients:
- 1 lb shrimp minced
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 7-8 scallions minced
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp garlic salt
Other Ingredients:
- ~50 wraps
- Cup of warm water
- bamboo steamer
- parchment paper
- Large pot
Directions:
- Combine all your ingredients in a large mixing bowl
- Using a fork or a spoon, scoop a small dollop into the middle of your wrapper(there should be enough dough around the meat so that you can seal the wrap without any leakage)
- Dip your finger in a cup of warm water and moisten all the edges of the wrapper
- Take all four corners(or four sides if round) and press together at a peak
- There should now be four open slits in the wrap
- Press each of those together
- Then dab a bit more water on one side of each fold and press the flap down against the meat of the dumpling
- It should look a bit like a sharp pear
- Boil water in the large pot
- Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit in your bamboo steamer
- Add dumplings to steamer, cover and cook for about 10 minutes
- Once the wraps are a bit see through, and tender, remove from the steamer and enjoy!
