Steps:
- In a small skillet, heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil over medium-high. Add 2 tablespoons ginger and scallions and cook, stirring, until scallions are slightly softened and mixture is fragrant, 2 minutes. Remove from heat. In a food processor, pulse shrimp until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and add ginger mixture, curry paste, and fish sauce; stir to combine.
- Working with 1 wonton wrapper at a time, place 1 heaping teaspoon shrimp mixture in center. With a wet finger, moisten edges of wrapper, then bring all 4 corners together, pinching at top to seal. (Cover filled dumplings with a kitchen towel as you work.)
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil over medium-high. Add dumplings, seam side up, and cook until golden brown on bottom, 1 minute. Carefully add 1/2 cup water to skillet, cover, and cook until water is almost evaporated and dumplings are tender, 3 minutes. Uncover and cook until water evaporates, 1 minute (reduce heat to medium if dumplings begin to overbrown). Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Serve dumplings with dipping sauce.

Steps:
- 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 with dumpling sauce on the side
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give your dumplings the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh shrimp, you can use frozen shrimp that has been thawed and deveined.
- Chop the shrimp finely: This will help the shrimp to cook evenly and prevent the dumplings from becoming too chewy.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to your dumplings. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, and bell pepper.
- Don't overfill the dumplings: If you overfill the dumplings, they will be difficult to seal and they may burst during cooking.
- Cook the dumplings in a steamer: This is the best way to cook dumplings because it prevents them from becoming soggy.
- Serve the dumplings with a dipping sauce: This will add flavor and moisture to the dumplings.
