Ingredients

  • rice papers
  • 3.5 oz Shrimp (100g) (after peeling and deveining)
  • 2.12 oz hanpen (60g) (or you could use shrimp instead)
  • ½ bulb onion
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (or any starch)
  • 1 tbsp sake rice wine (or Chinese cooking wine)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (to your taste)
  • 1 pinch salt (to your taste)
  • ½ tsp sugar (to your taste)
  • ½ tsp sesame oil (to your taste)
  • ½ cup water (125ml)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Begin by peeling and deveining the shrimp, then use kitchen paper to pat them dry. Finely chop the shrimp by hand or with a food processor.
  2. Then, finely chop both the onion and ginger.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, hanpen, finely chopped onion, ginger, cornstarch, and all the seasonings. Thoroughly mix everything by hand.
  4. Take the rice papers and cut them in half. Dip one piece of rice paper into water for about 5 seconds, allowing it to soften.
  5. Follow the photo instructions in the post to wrap the filling within the rice papers.
  6. Place the dumplings in a pan. If your pan is not nonstick, you can place a sheet of baking paper beneath the dumplings.
  7. Add water to the pan, then cover it with a lid. Cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
  8. Then, remove the lid and continue cooking until all the water has evaporated. For those who prefer a slightly crispy skin, you can cook them without water for an additional minute.
  9. Finally, take the dumplings out of the pan and enjoy them with a delightful dipping sauce from soy sauce and a touch of chili oil. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you're using frozen shrimp, be sure to thaw them and gently pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
  • You can also replace the onion with green onions or leeks.
  • Enjoy the dumplings while they're still piping hot.
