Recipe Ingredients

1   Wrapper recipe
1 cup 237mlWater
1 tablespoon 15mlOil
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlSalt
1 cup 146g / 5.1ozChopped shrimp
1/4 cup 15g / 0.5ozGround pork
1 cup 93g / 3.3ozMinced water chestnuts
1/4 cup 23g / 0.8ozMinced scallions
1/4 cup 15g / 0.5ozMinced onions
1   Egg
1 teaspoon 5mlPepper
1 teaspoon 5mlSalt

Recipe Instructions

Boil wrapper. Remove from heat and pour in 1 1/2 cup flour and beat until it forms a ball. Divide into 1 1/4 inch balls and roll each until paper thin. Spoon 1 tbs mixture into each wrapper, fold and seal. Arrange in steamer and steam 30 minutes.

Again some explanation. These can be made with much thicker wrappers (the ones the street vendors sell are more like 1/2 to 1 inch thick) and the filling can be just about anything.

I have done these with leftover meat and a few vegetables ... such as mushrooms, celery etc.
