Ingredients:
~ 1 lb. peeled & deveined medium shrimp, washed and dried
~ 2 T minced fine carrot
~ 2 T minced fine green onion
~ 1 tsp minced fresh ginger
~ 2 tsp oyster sauce
~ 1/4 tsp sesame oil
~ 1 package wonton wrappers
Sauce:
~ 1 cup soy sauce
~ 1 1/2 oz. white vinegar
~ 1/2 tsp chili paste
~ 1 T sugar
~ 1/4 oz. minced fresh ginger
~ 1 c. water
~ 1/4 oz. cilantro leaves, chopped
Directions:
Take 1/2 lb of the shrimp and mince fine in a food processor. Take the other 1/2 lb and small dice. Combine remaining ingredients. With a small spoon place approx 1/2 oz of mixture into the skin. Moisten the outside edge. Fold corner to corner (opposite) and seal. The top should look like a cross. Place on a place covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Combine sauce ingredients and mix very well. Prepare garnishes.
Have a soup pot filled with water. Bring to a boil, then down to a slight boil. Line the bottom of a steamer with a light coat of vegetable oil or nonstick spray. Place dumplings in steamer. Cover and steam for 7-10 minutes. Dumplings should be firm with an internal temp of 160 degrees. Serve with dipping sauce. (if you want them a little crispier, you can add olive oil to a frying pan and fry on both sides until golden brown)
