How to Make Easy Steamed Shrimp Dumplings

  1. Boil approximately 2 cups of water in your rice cooker for steaming.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients (except wonton wrappers) and mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Prepare your steamer basket: Line it with lettuce leaves or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking, or lightly grease with oil.
  4. Moisten one wonton wrapper at a time with water using a pastry brush or your fingers.
  5. Add approximately 1 teaspoon of the shrimp mixture to the center of the wonton wrapper.
  6. Gently fold the wrapper into a half-moon shape, bringing the two opposite corners together. Twist the top slightly to seal.
  7. Place the finished dumpling in the steamer basket, leaving some space between each dumpling to allow for even steaming.
  8. Repeat steps 4-7 until the steamer basket is full. (Avoid overcrowding.)
  9. Carefully place the steamer basket into the rice cooker above the boiling water. Cover and steam for 10 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, or a ginger-soy dipping sauce. Enjoy!
