Pork and Shrimp Dumplings
40 dumplings
Steps
- For sauce: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Set aside.
- For filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, shrimp, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, green onion, salt and pepper. Mix together until everything I evenly combined.
- In a small bowl combine egg and 1 tablespoon water. Whisk together.
- Brush the edge of a wonton wrapper with egg wash and fill the center with 1 ½ tablespoons filling.
- Fold dumpling in half, making sure to get rid of any air pockets before completely sealing. You should have a half circle at this point. Dip one corner of dumpling in egg wash. Bring both corners into the center of dumpling and seal together.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all filling and wrappers have been used.
- Place a pot of water over high heat and top with a bamboo steamer. Line steamer with a steamer liner or leaves of green cabbage.
- Add a few dumplings to the steamer about ½ inch apart. Cover and once water is boiling, steam dumpling for 7 to 9 minutes or until dumplings have cooked through completely. Transfer dumplings to a shallow bowl and repeat.
- To serve: Drizzle sauce over steamed dumplings and serve with more sauce on the side.
Notes
- To Freeze: Place all wrapped, pre-cooked dumplings onto a parchment lined baking sheet, making sure dumplings don't touch one another. Place baking sheet in freezer and freeze until all dumplings are completely frozen, at least 2 hours. Once frozen, transfer dumplings into a resealable bag, seal and keep in freezer until ready to use. Dumplings can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to use, dumplings can be boiled or steamed straight from the freezer, no thawing required.
