Dim Sum

Ingredients

• 300 g All-purpose flour
• 150 ml Hot water
• 250 g Ground pork
• 150 g Shrimp
• 2 cm Ginger
• 2 EL Soy sauce
• 1 EL Sesame oil
• 1 TL Cornstarch
• 1/2 TL White pepper
• 1 Prise Sugar
• 2 EL Green onions

Instructions

1. For the dough, place the flour in a large bowl. Gradually add the hot water, stirring with chopsticks until crumbles form. Then, knead with your hands to form a smooth dough and let it rest, covered, for 20 minutes.
2. For the filling, peel, devein, and finely chop the shrimp. Grate the ginger and finely slice the green onions. In a bowl, combine ground pork, chopped shrimp, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, white pepper, sugar, and green onions, mixing well.
3. On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a long log and divide it into 20-25 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle (about 7-8 cm in diameter).
4. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough into half-moons and press the edges firmly together, or create small pleats to seal the dim sum.
5. Line a steamer with parchment paper or lightly grease the bottoms with oil to prevent the dim sum from sticking. Arrange the dim sum in the steamer with some space in between.
6. Bring water to a wok or pot to a boil. Place the steamer over it and steam the dim sum for 8-10 minutes, until cooked through and the wrappers appear slightly translucent.
7. Serve the dim sum immediately while hot with soy sauce or your preferred dipping sauce. Enjoy!
