Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 eggs, beaten
- Dumpling wrappers
Secondary Vegetables:
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced and cut into shreds
- 1 carrot, peeled, thinly sliced, and cut into shreds
- 1 handful of shallots, finely chopped
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) white sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) dried shrimp (optional)
- Salt to taste
- 1 pinch of pepper
- Mineral water (for sealing dumplings)
Instructions
- Sprinkle sugar over shredded cucumber and carrot, allowing the mixture to macerate for 3-4 minutes to release moisture.
- Whisk eggs with salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Warm a skillet over medium heat with a thin layer of oil, gently scramble eggs until softly set with delicate curds. Transfer to a separate dish.
- Thoroughly drain cucumber and carrot mixture, pressing out excess liquid, then mince into fine, uniform pieces.
- Assemble filling by blending scrambled eggs, minced vegetables, fragrant sesame oil, chopped dried shrimp, and finely sliced shallots in a mixing bowl.
- Lay out dumpling wrappers and carefully position a precise spoonful of filling at the center of each wrapper.
- Moisten wrapper edges using mineral water, then expertly fold and crimp to create a secure seal.
- Arrange dumplings in a steamer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other, and steam at 212°F for approximately 10 minutes until translucent and fully cooked.
Notes
- Drain vegetables thoroughly to prevent soggy dumpling wrappers and ensure a crisp texture.
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the most vibrant flavor and creamy scrambled egg base.
- Consider adding chopped green onions or chives for an extra layer of aromatic freshness.
- Replace dried shrimp with tofu or mushrooms for a vegetarian-friendly alternative that maintains protein content.
