The right name for this appetizer is Har Gow. This can also be part of a Dim Sum Brunch.For a Dim Sum Brunch you would usually serve about 8-10 dishes different dishes, depending on the appetites of your guests. This recipe can be frozen and when you wish to serve it take it frozen and steam them over very high heat. I prefer to freeze them unsteamed. These are tasty!

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup boiling water

  • Roll out each piece into a thin round.
  • Place a teaspoon of the filling on each round and pinch the edges together (press with a fork to decorate the edges).
  • Oil your steamer and place the dumplings in it and steam over high heat for 8-9 minutes.
  • Serve with a spicy chili sauce or soy mixed with hot mustard.

The dumpling wrappers were too thick. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

I had a hard time getting the dumplings to fold properly. They kept breaking apart.

The shrimp dumplings were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more ginger and garlic next time.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed these dumplings. The shrimp filling was tender and flavorful, and the dumpling wrappers were cooked perfectly.
