Hello everyone, I am Xiao Gaojie.
Today, I will make steamed shrimp dumplings.
Let's make the dough first.
I use this flour, and you can use all purpose flour as well.
Add a little cornstarch.
Starch can make the dumplings wraps look slightly more transparent.
60 grams of boiling water.
Then add 60 grams of room temperature water.
This is a kind of the dough which is made with half boiling water.
Adjust the amount of water to make a slightly firm dough.
Because of starch, it won't form a smooth surface easily.
Once it forms a dough,
leave it for 20 minutes, then come back to knead it.
Very quickly, the surface became smooth.
Cover the lid and let it rest for one hour.
Prepare the filling at this time.
Choose small shrimp,
with a thin layer of ice.
And relatively clean, deveined.
Defrost with cold water.
Add soy sauce and white pepper.
Marinate for a little while.
Here is a boneless chicken leg with skin and fat.
Shrimp is lean, we need to add some fat.
You can use other kinds of meat with fat too.
Minced the chicken.
Seasoning.
A little bit of five-spice powder,
soy sauce,
salt,
sesame oil,
ginger paste,
white part of the green onion,
and one egg white.
Stir in one direction.
Then put the shrimp in.
Continue to stir in one direction.
Chicken leg is not only a source of fat,
it also acts as an adhesive agent.
You see that each small shrimp is coated with a thin layer of chicken.
After chicken is cooked, it bonds the shrimp together.
Dough is ready.
Roll it into a wrapper.
Add shrimp filling.
Pinch in the middle.
Pinch one side like this.
Then change direction.
With the same method, pinch again.
This is one of the simplest variations of dumplings.
You see a very beautiful S shape.
Starting steaming with boiling water. Steam for 6 minutes on medium low heat.
If steamed for too long, or the quality of the shrimp is not very good,
water will come out from shrimp. When shrimp becomes over cooked, it doesn't taste good.
Mix a simple dipping sauce.
Chinese vinegar and chili oil.
You see the dumpling wrap is very thin and soft.
It is full of shrimp.
The shrimp is very tender and even tastes a little crunchy.
For leftover dumplings, a quick shallow fry will add crispiness.
it’s also very delicious.
Thank you for watching, I am Xiao Gaojie. I will see you next time ^^
