Cooking

Method

Steaming

  1. 1

    Preparing the Steamer

    Fill a steamer pot with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Forming the Dumplings

    Take a small piece of the rested dough and flatten it in your palm. Add a spoonful of the shrimp filling to the center, then fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal.

  3. 3

    Steaming the Dumplings

    Once the water is boiling, place the dumplings in the steamer basket, making sure they are not touching. Cover and steam for 10-12 minutes, or until the dumplings are translucent and the shrimp is cooked through.
