Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • Shrimp (as needed)
  • Minced pork (as needed)
  • Oyster sauce (as needed)
  • Sesame oil (as needed)
  • Minced garlic (as needed)
  • Chopped green onion (as needed)
  • Chopped carrot (as needed)

Recipe 🍳

  1. Roughly chop the shrimp with a knife just enough to keep a bouncy, chewy texture.
  2. In a bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, minced pork, oyster sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, chopped green onion, and chopped carrot. Knead and mix well to make the filling.
  3. Place a suitable amount of filling in the center of a rice paper moistened with warm water, then shape it into a round pouch.
  4. Lightly coat the bottom of a microwave-safe dish with water and sesame oil to prevent the rice paper from sticking.
  5. Place the shaped dimsum on the dish, cover with a lid, and microwave for 5 minutes until cooked.
  6. In a small bowl, mix regular soy sauce, water, vinegar, chopped green onion, chopped Cheongyang chili pepper, and sesame seeds to make a vinegar-soy dipping sauce to serve alongside.
  1. Prepare the filling by mixing lightly chopped shrimp and pork with vegetables, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.
  2. Place the filling on a water-moistened rice paper and wrap it nicely into a dimsum shape.
  3. Place on a dish greased with sesame oil, cover, microwave for 5 minutes, and serve with vinegar-soy sauce.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If you grind the shrimp too finely, the popping texture is lost, so it's best to roughly chop them with the back of a knife.
  • Rice paper sticks easily due to its starchiness, so apply oil or water to the dish bottom and surface to prevent tearing.
  • Dipping in the vinegar-soy sauce with Cheongyang chili pepper helps cut the greasiness of the meat and shrimp filling cleanly.
