Prawn dumpling

Fresh Prawn Dumpling (鲜虾水饺)

Prawn dumpling

“Make happy dumpling with your happy children at home!”

I like to make either wanton or dumpling as one of the soup dishes for dinner. Filled with meat and prawn in each dumpling. Usually, I make the dumpling for the family by my own. Or, I should say by mum, instead. I was there to help out.

We made this dumpling dish together, with mum. First, place 1 spoon of meat mixture in the centre of the dumpling skin. Add 1 prawn, and wet finger tips with some water and wipe around the edge of the skin.

 

Just fold the dumpling by half.

Use finger tips to lightly pinch the edge of the skin to make it stick. With a little help of the water at the edge of the skin, the dumpling will be sealed tightly.

Simple dish, but many steps to make the filling. However, it’s not difficult to do it!

Ingredients

Filling:
300 gram of minced pork meat

    I thought of making your dumpling for CNY steamboat. How do I know it’s cooked after I’ve placed it in the pot?
