Red Curry Shrimp Dumplings

By

  • 2

Ingredients

  • 8 oz shelled and deveined shrimp
  • 2 teaspoons red curry paste
  • 2 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • A little egg white
  • Cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
  • Dumpling wrappers
  • Water, for wrapping

Preparation

Step 1

Roughly chop the shrimp into pieces, transfer the shrimp into a bowl and combine it with the red curry paste, fish sauce, cornstarch, egg white and cilantro leaves. Stir to combine into a sticky filling.

To wrap, place a heaping teaspoon of the filling onto the middle of a dumpling wrapper. Dip your index finger into some water and trace the outer edges of the dumpling wrapper. Fold up to form a half moon shape but only pinch to seal the middle part. Turn the dumpling and fold up the other two edges. Seal and pinch to form a nice and tight parcel like below. Repeat the same until you use up all the filling.

Heat up a pot of water and bring it to boil. Drop the dumplings into the hot boiling water. As soon as they float to the top, they are ready. Scoop out with a slotted spoon, shake off the excess water, transfer to a plate and serve immediately.
