Instructions
1. Make the Filling
In a large bowl, mix chopped shrimp, cabbage, carrots, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Stir until evenly combined.
2. Assemble the Dumplings
Place 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of a dumpling wrapper. Dip your finger in water and wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold and press to seal into desired shape (half-moon or pleated).
3. Steam the Dumplings
Arrange dumplings on parchment or a non-stick surface in a steamer basket. Steam over boiling water for 6–8 minutes, until the shrimp is fully cooked and wrappers are translucent.
Alternative Cooking Methods:
-
Pan-fry: Cook in oil for 2 minutes, then add water and cover to steam for 5 minutes.
-
Boil: Drop into simmering water and cook for 3–4 minutes until they float.
4. Serve with Sauce
Mix dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Serve warm dumplings with dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
-
Wrappers dry quickly, so keep unused ones covered with a damp cloth.
-
Make ahead: Freeze uncooked dumplings on a tray, then store in freezer bags for up to 3 months.
-
Use a food processor to speed up the veggie chopping process.
-
Add mushrooms, zucchini, or bell pepper for extra texture and nutrition.
