Ingredients
- 300 grams Lean ground chicken
- 200 grams Peeled and deveined shrimp, chopped
- 150 grams Firm tofu, crumbled
- 30 grams Protein powder (unflavored)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 3 tablespoons Chopped water chestnuts
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 1 large Egg white
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 small Carrot, finely grated
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped shrimp, crumbled tofu, and protein powder. Mix well until ingredients are uniformly distributed.
Step 2
Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, chopped water chestnuts, and green onions to the meat mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 3
Add the egg white into the mixture and knead it thoroughly to ensure it binds well.
Step 4
Place a wonton wrapper in your palm and add about one tablespoon of the filling in the center. Gather the edges of the wrapper around the filling, lightly pleating and pressing it to form an open-topped dumpling.
Step 5
Top each dumpling with a small pinch of finely grated carrot for garnish.
Step 6
Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Arrange the dumplings in the steamer, ensuring they do not touch.
Step 7
Fill a steamer pot with a couple of inches of water and bring it to a boil. Place the steamer basket over the pot, cover with the lid, and steam over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through.
Step 8
Remove dumplings carefully and serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
