Ingredients

• 250 grams raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, and finely chopped)
• 2 stalks green onions (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
• 24 pieces wonton wrappers
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (for greasing steamer)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, green onions, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until the shrimp mixture is well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the shrimp filling into the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Dampen the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water. Gather the edges around the filling to form a small pouch, pleating as desired, and pinch gently to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 5

Prepare a steamer by lining the basket with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with vegetable oil to prevent the dumplings from sticking.

Step 6

Arrange the dumplings in the steamer basket, leaving a bit of space between each one to avoid sticking.

Step 7

Bring a pot of water to a boil and place the steamer basket over the pot. Cover with a lid and steam the dumplings for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp filling is fully cooked and opaque.

Step 8

Carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve immediately with soy sauce, chili oil, or your favorite dipping sauce.
