Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Gradually add water, stirring until a dough forms. Knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover and rest 30 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Chop shrimp into small pieces. In a bowl, combine shrimp, remaining salt, white pepper, sesame oil, and green onions. Mix well and refrigerate.

  3. Step 3

    Divide dough into small balls. Roll each into a thin circle, about 3 inches wide.

  4. Step 4

    Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold and pleat the edges to seal, forming a crescent shape.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange dumplings in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them.

  6. Step 6

    Steam over boiling water for 8-10 minutes until the wrappers are translucent and the shrimp is cooked through.

  7. Step 7

    Serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
