Introduction
2. Curry Puffs
Steamed shrimp dumpling is one of most popular dim sum dishes at Chinese
restaurants. They look adorable and taste wonderful. If you gather all the ingredients,
you can make them at home.
Ingredients:
Shrimp filling:
1) 300g frozen white shrimp, 30g
finely minced pork fat
(optional);
2) 1 tbsp freshly chopped green
onion, 1.5 tsp minced ginger,
mix both with 1 tbsp water for
20 minutes then discard green
onion and ginger;
3) 1/2 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp ground
white pepper, 1 tsp corn starch,
1/6 tsp chicken broth mix, 1 tsp
garlic oil or sesame oil;
Wrappers:
4) 2/3 cup wheat starch (89g), 3
tbsp tapioca starch (31g), 155 g
boiling hot water;
5) 2 tsp vegetable oil or lard;
Others:
6) 2 tsp garlic oil.
Directions:
Filling:
1: Thaw the frozen shrimp, peel and
devein the shrimp. Rinse under cold
water. Press down with a cleaver to
crush shrimp then cut into 3 small
pieces (Picture 1). Combine the
chopped shrimp and minced pork fat
in a bowl. Then add liquid extract
from green onion and ginger of
Ingredient 2) and all ingredients of
Ingredient 3) (Picture 2). Stir with a
pair of chopsticks in one direction for
2 minutes until the mixture becomes
sticky (Picture 3). Set it aside.
Wrapper dough:
2: Measure out 2/3 cup wheat starch and
1.5 tbsp tapioca starch in a medium
bowl. Stir in 155 g boiling hot water
(Picture 4) until it is well combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and
let it stand for 5 minutes. Add the
remaining 1.5 tbsp tapioca starch
(Picture 5) and knead to combine.
Finally add 2 tsp lard (Picture 6) and
knead until the dough is smooth
(Picture 7).
Wrappers:
3: Rub small amount of oil on the dough
and divide into 3 equal portions. Cover
the rest with a damp cloth while
working on one portion. On an oiled
working surface, shape the dough into
a log about 1 inch in diameter. Cut into
5 equal portions (Picture 8). Roll each
one into a ball in your palms (Picture
9). Press down with a cleaver or pastry
scraper (Picture 10) into an 11-cm disc (Picture 11). If it is too hard to flatten, roll it
out with a rolling pin.
Shrimp dumplings:
4: Place 2 tsps filling in the center of the wrapper. Starting from the right side, fold
slightly the back to form 11-12 pleats (Picture 12). Press the front against the back to
seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Refer to this video for how to fold
the shrimp dumplings.
5: Place dumplings on parchment paper squares on a steamer rack and brush the
dumplings with garlic oil. Fill the steamer with 3 cups of cold water. Bring water to a
boil over high heat. Place the steamer rack in the steamer and steam for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and place steamed shrimp dumplings on a serving plate. Yummy!
Tips:
1. Make sure to use the boiling hot water to make the dough. If in doubt, heat the warm
water in a microwave oven until it reaches the boiling point.
2. Cover the unused dough with a damp cloth to avoid cracking.
3. To make the garlic oil, mix 1 tbsp freshly minced garlic with 1.5 tbsp corn oil.
Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave for another 30 seconds.

about 2 minutes. Add 3 tbsp corn oil and beat for 1 minute. Add the rest of
