Asian Dumplings (Wan Tan) with Soy Sauce

Ingredients

• 200 g wheat starch
• a little boiling water
• 125 g chopped shrimp
• 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• pepper (ground)
• 1 tbsp finely sliced onions (or leeks)
• Salt
• 6 tbsp soy sauce
• 4 tbsp Rice vinegar

Instructions

1. 1.

   Mix wheat starch and water (add small amounts while kneading) to make a smooth, pliable dough. Roll thinly and cut into circles about 8–10 cm in diameter. Combine shrimp, ginger, sesame oil, pepper, onion (or leek), and salt well. Place the filling in the center of each circle.

2. 2.

   Fold the dough circle over, alternating the seam side into folds to create a zig‑zag stitch. Steam in a bamboo steamer for 10 minutes. Mix all sauce ingredients together and serve alongside.
