A classic of Tiwanese cooking, shui gou are moist and delectable.
Ingredients:
- 200 grams or 1/2 pound ground pork
- 200 grams or 1/2 pound medium shrimp
- 1 head napa cabbage
- 1 cup chopped chinese chives
Dash of soy sauce
Dash of toasted sesame seed oil
2 cups of chicken stock
1 packet of Shui Gow wrappers (medium thickness)
Water to boil or oil for panfrying
Method:
-
Chop napa cabbage and sprinkle in a generous amount of salt. Let sit.
-
Shell and de-vein the shrimp and clean the chives.
- Rough chop both the shrimp and the chives.
- Squeeze all the water from the cabbage until quite dry and combine it with
pork, shrimp and chives.
- Season with a dash of soy sauce and sesame oil
-
Add about 1/4 cup of stock and stir the mixture vigorously until all liquid is
absorbed. Repeat until stock can no longer be incorporated - sticky
streaks that form as you stir indicate this stage is near
-
Wrap about 1 Tbsp of filling in each wrapper, sealing and crimping the edges well.
- Bring water to a boil. Add dumplings, careful not to tear or cram too
closely together. Boil for 3-5
minutes. Carefully
strain. OR Make potstickers by panfrying with plenty of oil
without crowding the dumplings or they will stick. Once browned,
add water, cover and steam until cooked through.
Yield: Approximately
40 dumplings
