Shrimp Dumplings
Description
Shrimp Dumplings bring together a mixture of shrimp and ground pork enhanced by shredded cabbage, fresh ginger, and green onions, providing freshness and texture. The addition of sesame oil and mirin gives the filling a delicate nuttiness and sweetness. The diced filling is wrapped individually in wonton wrappers, which are sealed carefully with water to keep the contents secure during cooking. Pan-frying the dumplings in vegetable oil until golden brown creates a crisp outer layer that contrasts nicely with the tender, juicy filling inside.
The final dish offers a balance of seafood and pork flavors with a hint of earthiness from the cabbage and spiciness from the ginger. These dumplings are best served hot right after cooking and paired with soy sauce to complement their savory character. They make a great starter or appetizer for any meal featuring Asian flavors.
Adapted from Taste and Tell, this recipe preserves traditional elements while simplifying assembly and cooking. The use of diced shrimp rather than whole offers ease in eating. No additional tips or storage notes are included beyond serving guidance.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled, deveined and diced
- 8 ounces ground pork
- 1 cup green cabbage shredded
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon ginger freshly grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon mirin
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 36 2- inch wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine shrimp, pork, cabbage, green onions, ginger, sesame oil, mirin, salt and pepper, to taste.
- To assemble the dumplings, place wrappers on a work surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the shrimp mixture into the center of each wrapper. Using your finger, rub the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add dumplings in a single layer and cook until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve immediately with soy sauce, if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh ginger for a more pronounced aromatic flavor in the filling.
- Seal the wonton wrappers firmly to prevent filling leakage during cooking.
- Serve dumplings immediately after cooking to maintain their crisp texture.
- Pair with soy sauce for dipping to enhance the savory flavors.
