Инструкции
- Wrappers: Mix the wheat starch, cornstarch, and salt together in a bowl. Add in the boiling water to the mix and stir till the dough is moist all over. Cover it with a towel and let sit for approximately 20 min.
- While the dough is sitting, begin preparing the filling. Remove the shells from the shrimp, and devein by cutting a slice down the back of the shrimp and removing the vein. Rinse the shrimp in cool water, drain and place in a bowl with the other filling ingredients.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured cutting board and knead till smooth. Add in the veg. oil, a tsp. at a time, kneading the dough after each addition. The dough should be smooth and shiny.
- Cut the dough into two equal pcs. Roll each piece into a 15-inch cylinder. Split each cylinder into 1-inch pcs, and form each piece into a ball. Cover the dough while you are making the dumplings to prevent it from drying.
- Dumplings: Roll a portion of the dough into a 3- to 3 1/2-inch circle. Place about a tsp. of filling in the center, and fold the skin in half, forming a semicircle or possibly half-moon shape. Press to seal the edges. Cover the dumpling with a damp cloth while you are making the remaining dumplings.
- Steaming: Line the bottom of the steamer with Napa cabbage or possibly a damp cloth to keep the dumplings from sticking. Steam the dumplings till translucent/soft (this will take approximately 18 to 20 min). Serve immediately with the soy sauce and chili oil.
- This recipe yields about 30 dumplings.
