Delicious shrimp dumplings filled with a savory mixture of shrimp, napa cabbage, and spices, perfect for a warm appetizer or main dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup finely chopped napa cabbage
- 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 package dumpling wrappers (about 30 wrappers)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Water for sealing dumplings
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, napa cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Take a dumpling wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the shrimp mixture in the center. Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper.
- Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the dumplings in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
- Cook for about 4-6 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the top and are cooked through.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the dumplings and place them on a plate. Serve warm with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of chili paste to the filling mixture.
- Try using ground chicken or tofu instead of shrimp for a different protein option.
