Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground pork
• 150 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 100 grams Water chestnuts, finely chopped
• 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 150 grams Gluten-free rice flour
• 150 ml Boiling water
• 2 tablespoons Cornflour, for dusting
• 1 small Carrot, finely grated, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, shrimp, water chestnuts, green onions, gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, sugar, salt, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined and set aside.

Step 2

In another bowl, mix the gluten-free rice flour with xanthan gum.

Step 3

Gradually pour the boiling water into the flour mixture while stirring with a wooden spoon until it forms a sticky dough.

Step 4

Turn the dough onto a lightly cornstarch-dusted surface and knead until smooth (about 5 minutes).

Step 5

Roll the dough into a log and divide it into 24 equal pieces.

Step 6

Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten into a thin circle about 2 inches in diameter, dusting with cornstarch to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place about 1 tablespoon of the pork filling in the center of each wrapper, gather the edges around the filling, and gently pleat while pressing to form a compact dumpling. Leave the top exposed.

Step 8

Garnish the top of each dumpling with a small pinch of grated carrot.

Step 9

Arrange the dumplings in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper, ensuring they do not touch.

Step 10

Steam the dumplings over boiling water for about 15-20 minutes or until the filling is fully cooked and the wrappers turn translucent.

Step 11

Serve hot with gluten-free soy sauce or chili oil.
