Japanese Dumplings with Shrimp Recipe

These Japanese dumplings with prawns make an excellent appetiser or main course. Shrimp, cabbage, scallions, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil are used to make the filling, and the dumplings are cooked until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They're ideal for a dinner party or a quick weeknight meal.

1/4 cup scallions, thinly sliced

Instructions

Combine the shrimp, cabbage, scallions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
To combine, combine everything thoroughly.
On a clean work surface, place a wonton wrapper.
1 tablespoon of the shrimp mixture should be placed in the centre of each wrapper.
Wet your finger and run it along the edges of the wrapper.
Fold the wrapper in half and seal by pinching the edges together.
Rep with the rest of the wrappers and shrimp mixture.
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil.
Cook for 2 minutes, or until the bottoms of the dumplings are golden brown, in the skillet.
Cover the skillet with a lid after adding the water.
Cook for 5 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and the water has evaporated, on medium heat.
Serve immediately and enjoy.
