My family eats it every three to five minutes, and all ages love to eat it. Crystal shrimp dumplings are the most popular and ordered dumplings in Cantonese morning tea.
Crystal shrimp dumplings, mainly have two parts, dumpling skin and dumpling filling. The dumpling skin is not ordinary flour, but a special crystal dumpling powder, the main ingredient is wheat flour starch. The dumplings are filled with shrimp, lean pork, carrots, delicious taste, thin skin filling, delicious and juicy. After steaming, the filling inside is looming, leaving diners to drool.
Authentic crystal shrimp dumplings require mastering 4 skills: the first dumpling skin. The water for kneading the noodles of crystal shrimp dumplings is boiling water, not cold water. For example, 100 grams of crystal shrimp dumpling powder, to pour 200 grams of boiling water to stir until translucent, and then pour 150 grams of powder, knead smooth, this time the dough is smooth and elastic, and there is temperature. Second, the filling of crystal shrimp dumplings, shrimp to shell to shrimp dumplings, half chopped, half cut into grains, such a good taste, delicious and juicy, must not be all chopped. Third, steamed dumplings. Crystal shrimp dumplings are only suitable for steaming, not for boiling or frying. Especially frying, it is easy to stick to the pan, break the skin, and leak the filling. Third, when wrapping dumplings, the dumpling skin and dumpling filling are larger than ordinary flour dumplings, because the steamer basket is made of bamboo, and the steamed dumplings are generally three or four. Cantonese-style morning tea, all steamed in bamboo steamers, is exquisite and beautiful, and has a lot of appetite.

Half a carrot, peeled and washer dried and sliced, put into a meat grinder and crushed. Wash and chop the ginger and chop the shallots.
Step 2: Pour all the prepared ingredients into a large ceramic bowl, add corn starch, soy sauce, peanut oil, salt and stir well. The shrimp filling is ready. Some people asked, can you do whole meat shrimp, you can also, but personally feel that adding some pork lean meat, the taste is richer, more delicious.
Step 3: 200 grams of crystal dumpling powder, pour into a ceramic bowl, add 400 grams of boiling water, stir quickly to make it translucent.
Step 4: Then pour in the remaining 300 grams of crystal shrimp dumplings and knead the smooth dumpling dough

Step 7: Bamboo steamer pad a steaming cloth, put the prepared dumplings evenly into the steamer basket, there should be a gap between the dumplings and the dumplings, otherwise they will stick together.

【Sourcehe warm tips】1. The flour of crystal shrimp dumplings must not be poured into the bowl at one time and then pour boiling water, because the boiling water should be boiled with dumpling powder, and then the crystal clear will appear. Pour boiling water and dumpling powder at one time, there will be no crystal clearness, and it will also leak the filling and stick together. 2. When steaming dumplings, be sure to use a high fire, the shape of the dumplings steamed with a small fire is easy to collapse, and the meat is not delicious, resulting in shrimp not being delicious. 3. There is no bamboo steamer, you can use an ordinary home steamer, but you need to pad a layer of steamer cloth, which can prevent sticking together. 4. Crystal shrimp dumplings are suitable for hot eating, after cooling, the outer skin will become hard, and the meat is not delicious. In addition, this kind of dumpling skin wrapped dumplings, not suitable for frying dumplings, will break the skin and leak the filling. It also doesn't boil, it sticks together.
