Instructions
Preparing the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, mushrooms, onion, scallion, and purple cabbage. Mix well.
- Add the sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined.
Fill Dumplings
- Place a tablespoon of the shrimp filling onto the center of each dumpling wrapper.
- Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape. Pinch the middle of the edge to seal, then fold and pleat the edges towards the center, creating a sealed dumpling. Practice makes perfect, so don’t worry if it takes a few tries.
Cooking the Dumplings
- Cover the finished dumplings to prevent them from drying out. Dust the bottom of each dumpling with Caputo “00” Chefs Flour to prevent sticking.
- Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of Olitalia Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- Once the oil is hot, gently place the dumplings in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them.
- Fry the dumplings for 1-2 minutes, or until they are golden brown on the bottom.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, add 1/4 cup of water to the pan, and cover with a lid. Steam the dumplings for 5-6 minutes, or until cooked through.
Preparing the Dipping Sauce and Serve!
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and minced garlic (if using). Mix until well combined.
- Plate the dumplings and serve with a side of dipping sauce. Enjoy!
