Ingredients
Let’s gather what we need to whip up these delicious dumplings:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 cup minced shrimp (or your choice of protein)
- 1/2 cup minced pork
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Banana leaves or parchment paper (for steaming)
Instructions
Now let’s roll up our sleeves and get cooking!
- In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, tapioca flour, and salt. Gradually stir in the warm water and oil until a smooth dough forms.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
- For the filling, combine minced shrimp, minced pork, fish sauce, garlic, sugar, and green onions in a mixing bowl. Make sure it’s mixed well so every bite is packed with flavor!
- Once the dough has rested, break it into small pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Then, flatten each ball into a round disc.
- Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each disc, then fold and pinch the edges to seal them tight. Be sure there are no gaps so that the filling doesn’t escape while steaming!
- Prepare your steaming setup—line your steamer with banana leaves or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the dumplings in the steamer, making sure they don’t touch each other. Then cover and steam them for about 15-20 minutes over medium heat.
- Once they’re done, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed with a tasty dipping sauce or just by themselves!
