Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add the chopped shrimp with the rest of the ingredients.
    A glass bowl containing chopped shrimp, green onions, a heap of white flour, and seasoning, placed on a wooden surface in natural sunlight.
  • Mix until everything is well incorporated.
    A glass bowl filled with a rice and vegetable mixture sits on a wooden table. A spoon holding a portion of the mixture is raised above the bowl. Shelves with bread loaves are visible in the blurred background.
  • In a mug or ramekin, add a layer of the shrimp mixture followed by a dumpling wrapper, then 30 ml of water, then a dumpling wrapper to finish off.

  • The top dumpling wrapper should be pressed down and submerged in the water too.
    A hand presses a sheet of dough into a small white ramekin on a wooden surface, shaping the dough to fit the dish.
  • Mine are layered in this order: shrimp, wrapper, shrimp, water, wrapper. I repeat this step for all of my ramekins.
  • Then, cover your pot with a lid and steam on the stove for 5-6 minutes on low heat.
    Three white ramekins filled with uncooked, wavy dough are arranged in a round black Staub pot with water, set on a wooden surface. Sunlight casts shadows on the pot and wood.
  • Add spicy chili oil and green onions and enjoy.

Notes

  • Be careful of the steam: When lifting the lid or removing the mug from the steamer, be careful. The steam is hot and sneaky, and it releases fast.
  • Don’t skip the water: That 30 milliliters of water is what creates the steam and keeps everything tender. Without it, the wrappers can turn chewy instead of silky.
  • Texture control: Hand-chopping the shrimp gives you a better bite than using a food processor, which can make the filling dense or pasty.
  • Finish strong: Chili oil, crisp chili flakes, and/or green onions take this from good to genuinely craveable.
