Steamed Shrimp, Cabbage and Egg Dumplings
Tuesday, February 6th, 2007This is one authentic and delicious Chinese treat: steamed dumplings!
As you already know, every Chinese new year, the most popular celebration tradition is to have steamed dumplings!
As you see in the pictures below, the dumplings are made from scratch with fresh fillings and dough! The dumplings are steamed in a classic bamboo steamers, making sure the dumpings carry all the yummy flavors.
Delicious fillings made from finely chopped fresh veggies, eggs (cooked) and shrimp. Please also add in salt and other spices for flavoring as desired.
Prepare the dough and nicely fold the fillings in. You may need a detailed lesson on how to prepare the dough and especially how to add in the fillings, then fold up the seal. Try google for "handmade dumplings". Later on, we will try to post up detailed instructions on this site too.
And here you have the finished product! Notice how the dumplings turn slightly golden? They are sooo good. I like the ones with the thin skin and lots of fillings!
With Chinese New Year approaching in less than 2 weeks (Feb. 18th), what are you going to make to celebrate this 5000 years old traditional festival?
