Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 600 g Chives
  • 2 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 Tbsp peanut oil
  • 1 Pinch salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 50 g wood ear
  • 30 g Shrimp
  • 500 g flour
  • 270 g water

Instructions

  • Clean the chives in advance. Once they are dry, finely cut them.
  • The wood ear is boiled for five minutes in advance, drained and diced.
  • The eggs are cooked (scrambled).
  • The shrimp are marinated in advance with the wine and ginger slices (don’t include in the ingredients), then mixed with other ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Add peanut oil, sesame oil, salt and mix well.
  • In a bowl, mix the flour and water and knead into a dough. Let rest for about 60 minutes and then roll out into a long roll. Cut off pieces about 1 inch apart.
  • Roll up the pieces into balls, let sit for a few minutes. Press them down flat, and roll them out into circles.
  • Take the dumpling skin in your hand, and spoon a small amount of filling into the center. Fold the edges together in half and pinch closed.
  • Boil a pot of water, and gently add the dumplings into the water. Once they start to bulge a bit and become slightly translucent, take them out and serve.
