Boiled Shrimp and Pork Dumplings Recipe #303301
A couple of weeks ago I went to a market and saw some dumplings in one of the stalls. I wanted to buy some but they were so expensive, so I decided I'd just make them myself. The preparation - filling and shaping the dumplings - does take time, but I think it is worth the result.

SERVES 4 , 30 -40 dumplings
- 200 g ground pork
- 100 g shrimp, finely chopped or ground using food processor
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine
- 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 30-40 wonton wrappers
- 3 cups chicken stock
- salt and pepper, to taste (for the stock)
- 1 dash mushroom soy sauce (optional, but remember that the stock will look a bit brown)
- iceberg lettuce (optional) or broccoli (optional) or cauliflower (optional) or carrot, chopped (optional)
- Mix all ingredients except wonton wrappers and stock.
- Place a teaspoon of meat mixture in the center of wrappers.
- Enclose the filling - you can shape the wontons into any shape you want. Don't forget to wet the edges of wrappers to ensure the filling is sealed well.
- Boil the chicken stock over high heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer.
- Carefully put dumplings into stock and cook, covered, until dumplings float in the surface. Don't crowd the dumplings - you may need to repeat this step for 2-3 times.
- Add the vegetables along with the last batch of dumplings, if using.
- Add salt, pepper, or soy sauce to taste.
- Enjoy!
