Step 1
Squeeze the carrots into juice first, do not throw away the residue.Step 2
10 shrimps, shelled and heads removed. Open the back and remove the shrimp intestines.Step 3
Cut the meat into small pieces and mince it along with some ginger.Step 4
Chop half of the shrimp into shrimp paste and mix it with the meat, and keep half and cut it into pieces, so that you will get chunks of shrimp meat when you eat it.Step 5
Put the meat filling, carrot residue and shrimp pieces into a basin. Add minced green onions.Step 6
Add seasonings and adjust the seasonings according to your own taste. Try not to use dark soy sauce as the color is too strong. The skin of the shrimp dumplings is relatively thin and the color revealed will not look good.Step 7
Mix everything together and the filling is ready.Step 8
100 grams of starch powder, 150 grams of flour, a little salt, and 140 grams of carrot juice. The more flour, the translucent the skin of the shrimp dumplings will be, but the gluten will be reduced, making it more difficult to roll out the skin and it will be easy to break. I think this ratio is relatively easy to operate.Step 9
Use chopsticks to stir the dough into a floc first. I don’t like kneading the dough with my hands at the beginning. It will make my hands sticky and uncomfortable.Step 10
Then knead the dough with your hands. It is best to let it rise for a while. When it rises, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, otherwise the surface will dry out. I also lived a white dough at the same time.Step 11
Roll the dough into strips and cut into suitable size pieces.Step 12
Flatten the dope.Step 13
Roll out into thin dumpling wrappers. The red one in the middle is rolled out with white dough and the red dough is wrapped inside. The other one is made of red and white dough rolled together. It's all simple.Step 14
Take a dumpling wrapper and wrap it with an appropriate amount of filling. If you are not familiar with it, put less filling and it will be easy to wrap.Step 15
Wrap it up as shown in the picture, making the pleats as even as possible.Step 16
All wrapped up, it still looks very spectacular and beautiful.Step 17
Place a grate in the steamer, place gauze underneath, and arrange all the dumplings on the gauze.Step 18
