Ingredients
1/2 cup minced Shitake mushrooms
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup raw shrimp minced
1/4 cup minced scallions, white & green parts
2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
2 tsp sherry cooking wine
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp Kosher Flake Salt
1 tsp sugar
1/2 cup minced garlic chives
8 large cabbage leaves, for lining the steamer
1 package round dumpling wrappers
Instructions
- Make the filling: In a small skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Remove and let cool.
- In a medium bowl using your hands, mix the mushrooms, shrimp, scallions, ginger, sherry, pepper, salt and sugar into a sticky paste. Fold in the chives.
- Holding a wrapper in your palm, fill the center with a Tbl of filling. Pinch the edges shut to form a half moon, stretching the dough slightly as needed and squeezing out any air bubbles. Tug the ends of the dumpling slightly to elongate, then curve into a slight crescent shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
- Line the baskets of one or more large bamboo steamers with cabbage leaves. Leaving at least 1 inch between each dumpling, lay in as many dumplings as will fit. Stack the steamers and cover with a lid.
- In a large pot over high heat, bring 2 inches of water to a boil. Place the steamer over the pot (if using multiple steamers, use multiple pots), with the steamers resting at least 2 inches above water. Steam until the dumpling wrappers are translucent and shiny, 7–9 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and carefully remove the steamers from the pots. Uncover the steamers and serve the dumplings immediately, straight from the steamers with the dipping sauce.
