Instructions

  1. Step 1: Finely chop 8 oz shrimp and 4 cups bok choy, then mix with 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 tbsp thinly sliced scallions in a bowl. Season with 1 tsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp rice vinegar, mixing until combined.
  2. Step 2: Place 1 teaspoon of the filling onto the center of each rice flour wrapper. Fold into a half-moon shape, sealing edges with a damp finger, then crimp the edges tightly.
  3. Step 3: Arrange dumplings in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each. Steam over boiling water for 8 minutes until the wrappers are translucent and filling is cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Whisk 2 tbsp soy sauce with 1 tbsp rice vinegar and 1 tsp sesame oil for the dipping sauce. Serve dumplings immediately with sauce.
