Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 This is all the ingredients you need for the filling part of the Crystal Shrimp Dumplings. 100g of fat and lean pork stuffing, prawns, water chestnuts, corn kernels, peas, diced carrots, one mushroom, minced green onions, minced ginger, eggs

   

2. 2 You usually buy 1 pound of meat filling. You won’t need so much to make crystal shrimp dumplings, so now I’m going to teach you a convenient way to store meat filling. Put the remaining meat filling into a plastic bag and press it flat

   

3. 3 Then use chopsticks to make even indentations into the meat filling, and then place it in the freezer of the refrigerator to freeze. In this way, when you eat it next time, you only need to break as much as you want like breaking chocolate.

   

4. 4 Peel and devein the prawns

   

5. 5 Chop part of the prawns into puree and leave the other part intact.

   

6. 6 These are the ingredients needed for the dough. 100 grams of wheat starch, 30 grams of corn starch, appropriate amount of boiling water

   

7. 7 Put 100 grams of flour (wheat starch) and 30 grams of corn starch into the bread machine bucket. Add an appropriate amount of boiling water (do not use warm water). Add a small amount of water at first, and gradually add it. The dough should be softer

   

8. 8 Start the bread machine to knead the dough for about 15 minutes, then let it rest for about 20 minutes. (If you don’t have a bread machine, you can knead the dough by hand.)

   

9. 9 While the bread machine is kneading the dough, we chop the mushrooms, water chestnuts, green onion and ginger, add them to the shrimp paste and meat filling, and add an appropriate amount of corn kernels, peas, and diced carrots

   

10. 10 Add appropriate amount of cooking wine

    

11. 11 Appropriate amount of abalone juice and appropriate amount of salt

    

12. 12 Appropriate amount of white pepper

    

13. 13 Stir in the same direction until stiff.

    

14. 14 Slice carrots and set aside

    

15. 15 At this time the dough has been kneaded and rested for 20 minutes.

    

16. 16 Place the dough on the chopping board and add appropriate amount of starch to prevent sticking

    

17. 17 Divide the dough evenly into several small portions and place them in a lunch box, covering the lid to prevent the surface from drying out.

    

18. 18 Take a small dough, roll it into a thin crust, add a portion of filling

    

19. 19 The crystal dough skin is not as tough as ordinary dumpling skins, so be careful not to be greedy when filling the fillings. If the prawns are too big, you can cut them into sections and wrap some of them.

    

20. 20 Wrap the crystal shrimp dumplings, place carrot slices on the bottom to prevent sticking, place on the basket and steam over high heat

    

21. 21 Steam for about 10-15 minutes until the crystal shrimp dumplings become transparent.

    

22. 22 The delicious and beautiful crystal shrimp dumplings are finished.

    

23. 23 It tastes delicious and I feel very satisfied when I bite into the prawns
