🛒 Ingredients
🔥 Directions
🛒 Ingredients (Makes 20–25 Dumplings)
- 20–25 wonton wrappers
🍤 Filling
- 7 oz (200g) raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ½ cup broccoli
- ¼ cup carrot
- ¼ cup garlic chives (or green onions)
- ¼ cup corn kernels
🧂Seasoning
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2–3 pinches salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Secret Ingredient 1 tbsp
👉 Feel free to use cabbage, mushrooms, zucchini, spinach, or whatever veggies you already have on hand.
👉 The Secret Ingredient helps the shrimp stay juicy while giving the filling that delicious, restaurant-style bite.
🥜 Creamy Peanut Dipping Sauce
This quick peanut sauce takes these dumplings to the next level. It's creamy, savory, a little sweet, and perfect for dipping.
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
- ½ tbsp minced garlic
👉 Whisk everything together until smooth. If the sauce feels too thick, add 1–2 teaspoons of water until it reaches your preferred consistency.
👩🏻🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the Vegetables 🥦
- Blanch the broccoli and carrots for about 20 seconds, then drain well.
- Finely chop the broccoli, carrots, and garlic chives.
👉 The drier the vegetables, the better the filling will hold together.
2. Chop the Shrimp 🦐
- Finely chop about two-thirds of the shrimp, leaving the rest in slightly larger pieces.
👉 A mix of finely chopped and chunky shrimp gives every bite the perfect texture.
3. Make the Filling 🥣
- Add the shrimp, vegetables, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and Secret Ingredient to a large bowl.
- Mix until the filling becomes sticky and well combined.
👉 Don't skip the mixing - it helps the filling stay juicy and hold together.
4. Fold the Dumplings 🥟
- Place about a tablespoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Lightly wet the edges with water and seal tightly.
👉 Press the edges firmly so they stay sealed while steaming.
5. Steam ♨️
- Bring the water to a full boil before adding the dumplings.
- Steam over high heat for 6–8 minutes, or until the shrimp are fully cooked.
👉 Leave a little space between each dumpling so they don't stick together.
