Ingredients

• 200 grams Shrimp (peeled, deveined, and finely chopped)
• 1 medium Carrot (finely grated)
• 50 grams Cabbage (finely chopped)
• 2 stalks Scallions (thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons White pepper
• 24 pieces Dumpling wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Water (for sealing wrappers)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, grated carrot, chopped cabbage, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and white pepper. Mix well to combine the filling.

Step 2

Set up a clean workspace and prepare the dumpling wrappers. Keep a small bowl of water handy for sealing the wrappers.

Place one dumpling wrapper on your palm. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Dip your fingertip into the bowl of water and moisten the edges of the dumpling wrapper.

Step 5

Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together and pleat, if desired, to seal tightly.

Step 6

Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 7

Line a bamboo steamer or any steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Arrange the dumplings in the steamer, leaving a little space between each to avoid them sticking together.

Step 9

Fill a pot or wok with about 2 inches of water and bring it to a boil. Place the steamer basket over the pot and cover with a lid.

Step 10

Steam the dumplings over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until the shrimp and vegetables are fully cooked.
