Shrimp Dumplings
Shrimp Dumplings combine diced shrimp and ground pork with shredded cabbage, green onions, and ginger for a tender, savory filling encased in crisp, pan-fried wonton wrappers. The sesame oil and mirin add a subtle aroma and sweetness, rounding out the taste. Cooking the dumplings until golden and crisp ensures a pleasant contrast between the crunchy exterior and moist interior. Served immediately, these dumplings are ideal with soy sauce for dipping, making a satisfying appetizer or snack.

- 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.
