Method
Dumpling Dough Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Filling Preparation
- 2
Make the Filling
In a food processor, add the peeled and deveined shrimp, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still has some texture, about 10-15 pulses. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Shape the Dumplings
After the dough has rested, divide it into small pieces about the size of a golf ball. Roll each piece into a thin circle, about 3 inches in diameter. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal. You can also pleat the edges for a decorative touch.
Cooking Dumplings

Steam the Dumplings
Prepare a steamer basket lined with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Place the dumplings in the steamer, making sure they are not touching. Steam over boiling water for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and the filling is hot.
