shrimp dumplings

Filled with shrimp and lots of healthy vegetables, these dumplings are easy to make, juicy and flavorful!

Shrimp dumplings (saeu mandu)

all purpose flour

salt

water

spinach

(340 grams) raw shrimp (Peeled and deveined)

(280 grams) green cabbage

(110 grams) fresh mushroom caps, stems removed ((shiitake, button, crimini, etc.))

onion

garlic

ginger (or juiced)

soy sauce

sesame oil

salt to taste (about 1/4 teaspoon)

pepper

vinegar

black pepper (and/or gochugaru (red chili pepper flakes))

Add 2 cups of flour to a bowl. Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon of salt in 2/3 cup of water. Gradually add the water to the flour while mixing and checking the moisture level. Keep mixing by hand until the dough comes together, and knead with the heel of your hand until the dough is smooth bur slightly stiff. You can adjust the dough by kneading in a little more flour or more water.

Cover with a plastic wrap, and let it rest for 30 minutes to an hour. After resting, the dough should feel soft and smooth. (This is a good time to start making the filling.)

When ready to use, using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 4 long pieces on a lightly floured work surface. Roll each piece with both hands to make a thin log, 3/4 to 1-inch diameter. (Cover the remaining dough to keep it from drying out.)

Cut each log into 3/4 to 1-inch pieces. Press the cut side with the thumbs to flatten to a small disk. Dust and roll out each disk with a small rolling pin to a thin 3.5-inch circle. (You can also use a round cutter or wine glass.) Make a few wrappers at a time and wrap the filling in. Always cover the dough and wrappers that are not being used.

For the wrappers:

Blanch the spinach in boiling water, puree in a food processor. Run it through a sieve to extract green juice, about 2/3 cup. Follow the same steps for the wrappers above.

If making green dough

Coarsely chop the shrimp or pulse several times in a food processor. Finely chop the cabbage. Mix with 1 teaspoon of salt. Let sit for 5 - 10 minutes. Squeeze out excess water. (If using a food processor, add salt with the cabbage before pulsing.) Finely chop the onion and mushrooms. Combine all the filling ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well by hand.

For the filling:

Place a tablespoon of the filling on a wrapper. You don't need to wet the edges of the homemade wrapper. Seal tightly (pushing the air out with your fingers) into a half-moon shape. (You can add pleats if desired.) Dust the bottom of the dumpling with flour to keep it from sticking as the skin absorbs the moisture from the filling. Repeat this process until all the filling/wrappers are used.

To assemble:

Steaming: steam the dumplings for about 10 minutes in a steamer (longer if frozen). Make sure to line the steamer with a wet cheesecloth or paper towel to prevent the mandu from sticking.

Boiling: bring a pot of water to a boil. Add mandu (stirring gently so they don&#039;t stick to the bottom of the pot), a few at a time, and cook until all of them come up to the surface. Continue to cook for another minute or two.

Pan frying, heat the pan with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium high heat. Add the dumplings, making sure they aren&#039;t touching each other. Fry for 1 - 2 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown. Add 1/4 cup of water to the pan, and cover immediately with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium low, and steam for 4 to 5 minutes. If the dumplings are frozen, cook a little longer.

To cook:

Dumplings are intimidating (well, they can be). But they also are, in fact, delicious. No matter what you stuff them with, the concept of pillowy, soft dough encasing a luscious, super flavorful filling is enough to warm you up from inside to out. Well, with our homemade dumpling recipe, we’re bringing that warm, fuzzy feeling right to your very own kitchen table.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the warm water and mix until well-combined.

Roll out dough on a floured surface and knead until smooth.

Roll out 1 piece of dough into a thin log and divide into 6 or 8 pieces, depending on the size of dumplings you want. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.

Lightly flour the dough pieces and roll out 1 piece into a thin circle roughly 4-inches (10 cm) in diameter.

Keep the dumpling wrappers separated with a small piece of parchment paper and repeat with the remaining dough.

Combine the cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a medium bowl and mix until well-incorporated.

For the pork filling, combine the ground pork with the remaining teaspoon of salt, the pepper and 1 cup (125g) of the cabbage mixture and stir until well-incorporated.

For the veggie filling, combine the mushrooms and carrot and microwave for 3 minutes, until soft. Add 1 cup (125g) of the cabbage mixture and stir until well-incorporated.

For the shrimp filling, combine the shrimp with 1 cup (125g) of the cabbage mixture and stir until well-incorporated.

To assemble the dumplings, add roughly 1 heaping tablespoon of filling to the center of a dumpling wrapper. With your finger, lightly coat half of the outside of the wrapper with water. Fold the moistened half of the wrapper over the filling and, using your fingers, pleat the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining fillings and wrappers.

Heat the oil over medium high in a large skillet and add a few dumplings, cooking them in batches. Once the bottoms of the dumplings start to brown, add a splash of water and cover with a lid. Steam for about 5 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked and the water has evaporated. Transfer the cooked dumplings to a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess moisture or grease.

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and pepper flakes and stir to combine. Serve the dumplings immediately with the dipping sauce.

I love making shrimp dumplings because they are a delicious and impressive appetizer to serve at gatherings.

Shrimp Dumpling Recipe

shrimp

¼ cup sliced chives (or green onions)

ginger

cornstarch

sugar

white pepper (or black pepper)

wonton wrappers (3 ½" square or round)

vegetable oil

Prepare the Shrimp - Chop the shrimp until it turns into a chunky paste. For a quicker alternative, pulse the shrimp in a food processor.

Make the Filling - In a medium bowl, combine chopped shrimp, chives, ginger, garlic, cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, sugar, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to fill.

Prepare the Wrappers - If you purchased square wonton wrappers, use a 3 1/2-inch round cutter to cut out a circle shape. Keep the wrappers covered with a damp paper towel or plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.

Shape the Dumplings - Lightly brush the edges of 1 wrapper with water. Add about 2 teaspoons of filling to center the wrapper (do not overfill). Fold the dough into a half-moon shape, remove any air, and press the edges together. Brush the outer edge of the dumpling with water. Starting on one side and then working to the other, create about 5 to 6 small pleats along the edges of the dumpling. Make sure to press the pleats to ensure that it is sealed well. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Pan-Fry the Dumplings - Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil. Carefully add 15 dumplings to the pan. Fry until the bottoms are golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Steam the Dumplings - Reduce the heat to medium-low. Very carefully, pour in 1/4 cup water into the side of the pan. Immediately cover, allowing dumplings to steam until the water evaporates, about 3 minutes. Add more water if needed to cook the filling. Remove the lid and turn up the heat to medium. Fry until bottoms are brown and crisp, about 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dumplings, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil for browning and then 1/4 cup water for steaming.

To Serve - Serve the dumplings hot, with your favorite dipping sauce like soy sauce, sweet and sour, or spicy chili.
