Description
This recipe makes delicious and healthy shrimp and vegetable dumplings, perfect for a light meal or appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined, and finely minced
- 1 cup napa cabbage, finely shredded
- 1/2 cup carrots, finely grated
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 package (12 ounces) round dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
- 1/4 cup water (for cooking)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine minced shrimp, napa cabbage, carrots, green onions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half to form a semi-circle, pressing the edges to seal. You can create pleats along the sealed edge for a decorative finish.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Place dumplings in a single layer in the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Pour 1/4 cup of water into the skillet. Immediately cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp is cooked through and the water has evaporated.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
- Dumplings can be frozen before cooking. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to an airtight container. Cook from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the steaming time.
