Ingredients

• 250 grams Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 150 grams Rice flour
• 50 grams Tapioca starch
• 200 milliliters Water, boiling
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

Start by making the dough for the wrappers. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour and tapioca starch.

Step 2

Slowly pour the boiling water into the flour mixture while stirring continuously with a wooden spoon. Mix until it forms a soft dough.

Step 3

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the shrimp filling. Finely chop the shrimp and place it in a bowl.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, salt, sugar, white pepper, sesame oil, and cornstarch to the shrimp. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

After the dough has rested, divide it into small pieces, roughly the size of a walnut.

Step 7

Roll each piece of dough into a thin circle on a lightly floured surface.

Step 8

Place a small spoonful of the shrimp filling in the center of each circle.

Step 9

Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 10

Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil in the bottom pot.

Step 11

Arrange the shrimp dim sum in a single layer on a parchment-lined steamer basket or tray, ensuring they don't touch each other.

Step 12

Place the steamer basket over the boiling water, cover, and steam for 10-12 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through and the wrappers are slightly translucent.

Step 13

Serve hot straight from the steamer. Enjoy your soy-free shrimp dim sum!
