Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 150 grams Wheat starch
  • 100 grams Tapioca starch
  • 250 ml Boiling water
  • 200 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 100 grams Garlic chives, finely chopped
  • 50 grams Jicama or water chestnuts, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dried shrimp, soaked and minced(optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Toasted peanuts, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon Light soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon White pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the filling by sautéing the dried shrimp, fresh shrimp, jicama, and garlic chives in a pan with sesame oil and soy sauce until just cooked. Stir in the crushed peanuts and let cool.

  2. 2

    In a heat-proof bowl, mix wheat starch and tapioca starch. Pour in the boiling water immediately while stirring vigorously with chopsticks until a shaggy dough forms.

  3. 3

    Cover the dough and let it rest for 5 minutes, then knead in one tablespoon of vegetable oil until the dough is smooth, white, and elastic.

  4. 4

    Divide the dough into small balls (about 20g each) and roll them out into thin circles using a greased rolling pin or a tortilla press.

  5. 5

    Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each wrapper and fold into a half-moon shape, pinching the edges tightly to seal.

  6. 6

    Line a bamboo steamer with parchment paper or lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.

  7. 7

    Steam the dumplings over high heat for 6 to 8 minutes until the skins become translucent.

  8. 8

    Remove from heat and brush lightly with oil for a glossy finish before serving with chili oil.
