Method

Dumpling Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a bowl, mix wheat starch, tapioca starch, and salt. Gradually add boiling water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth. Cover with a damp towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    Chop the shrimp into small pieces and mix with pork fat, garlic, ginger, cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper in a bowl. Stir until well combined.

Dumpling Assembly

  1. 3

    Form the Dumplings

    Divide the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Roll each ball into a thin circle. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Steam the Dumplings

    Prepare a steamer and steam the dumplings for about 6-8 minutes on high heat until translucent and cooked through.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve with Sauce

    Serve the dumplings hot with hot mustard and chili sauce on the side for dipping.
