Instructions
- Dumpling Filling. Combine the ground pork, shrimp, ginger, all the seasonings and scallions together. Mix well and set aside.
- Wrapping Dumplings. To assemble the dumplings, put a small spoonful of the filling in the center of a wrapper. Moisten the edge of the wrapper with water using your finger, then fold and pleat the dumpling. Repeat this process for the remaining wrappers.
- Steaming Dumplings. Arrange the dumplings in a bamboo steamer lined with parchment paper (punched with holes) at the bottom and steam for 8-10 minutes. Serve immediately with black vinegar dipping sauce.
Notes
- Gather all the steamed dumplings ingredients and the bamboo steamers beforehand. Keep the store-bought wrapper covered to prevent drying.
- Use a teaspoon (a wooden one is easier) to fill the dumplings. Keep the filling consistent. DO NOT overfill or it will be hard to seal and wrap. Seal the edges tightly to prevent the filling from spilling out of the dumplings.
- Properly set up your steamer before cooking. If you don't have a bamboo steamer, a traditional Chinese steamer works fine too. Serve the dumplings hot and steaming, along with black vinegar dipping sauce.
