Ingredients

• 400 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 large Egg whites
• 100 grams Firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 30 pieces Dumpling wrappers
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Chop the shrimp into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Crumble the firm tofu into the bowl with the shrimp.

Step 3

Add the egg whites, soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.

Step 4

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined, forming the dumpling filling.

Step 5

Place a dumpling wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about a tablespoon of the shrimp mixture into the center of the wrapper.

Step 6

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, then fold the wrapper over to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal, creating pleats if desired.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 8

In a large non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Arrange the dumplings in the skillet, making sure they are not touching.

Step 9

Cook the dumplings for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 10

Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for about 5 minutes or until the water has evaporated.

Step 11

Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms.

Step 12

Transfer the cooked dumplings to a plate and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
