Ingredients

• 250 grams Ground pork
• 150 grams Raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, and minced)
• 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
• 30 pieces Round dumpling wrappers
• 50 milliliters Water (for sealing dumplings)
• 2 liters Water (for boiling)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced shrimp, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly until the filling becomes sticky and well-blended. Set aside.

Step 2

Prepare a small dish of water and a clean surface for assembling the dumplings.

Step 3

Place one dumpling wrapper in the palm of your hand. Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Dip your finger into the water and lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together to seal tightly. For a decorative touch, create pleats along the edge. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.

Step 5

Bring 2 liters of water to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Stir gently to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Boil the dumplings for 6-8 minutes, or until they float to the surface and the filling is cooked through.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings and transfer them to a serving plate.

Step 9

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce with a splash of rice vinegar or chili oil.
