Sweet Wonton King Crystal Shrimp Dumplings (水晶蝦餃) 8-Piece Pack

Nutrition Facts (Approximate)

Please note that nutritional information varies between brands and recipes. The values below are compiled from different sources to give you a general estimate .

Ingredients can vary by brand, but a Crystal Shrimp Dumpling typically contains the following core components:

Filling:

• Shrimp (蝦): The primary ingredient, often a mix of whole or chopped prawns and minced shrimp .
• Bamboo Shoots (竹筍): Adds a crunchy texture .
• Pork Fat (豬油/油粒) or Pork Belly: Adds richness and moisture to the filling .
• Water Chestnuts (荸薺): Another common ingredient for added crunch .
• Seasonings: Typically includes sugar, salt, white pepper, sesame oil, and soy sauce .

Wrapper:

• Wheat Starch (澄麵): The key ingredient for the translucent “crystal” skin .
• Tapioca / Potato Starch (太白粉/木薯澱粉): Mixed with wheat starch to create the dough .
• Water & Soybean Oil

How to Steam Them Perfectly:

1. Do Not Thaw: Cook directly from frozen. Thawing will make the wrapper sticky and gummy.
2. Prepare Your Steamer: Bring water to a rolling boil in your wok or pot. Line the steamer basket with:

• Parchment Paper (poke a few holes for steam)
• Cabbage Leaves
• Thinly Sliced Carrots
• A lightly oiled surface

This prevents the delicate dumplings from sticking and tearing.

1. Arrange with Space: Place the frozen dumplings in the steamer, leaving about an inch of space between them. They will expand slightly and are very sticky.
2. Steam: Cover with a lid and steam on high heat for 8-10 minutes.

• Pro Tip: If your steamer lid isn’t domed, wrap it in a kitchen towel to prevent condensation from dripping onto the dumplings and making the tops soggy.

1. They Are Done When: The wrappers become beautifully translucent, revealing the pink shrimp filling inside, and the dough feels firm and bouncy to the touch.

The Perfect Dipping Sauce

The flavor of the shrimp is the star, so the sauce should complement, not overpower. A simple sauce is key.

• The Classic Dim Sum Dip: Chili Oil or Chili Crisp. The heat and umami perfectly enhance the sweet, juicy shrimp.
• A Light & Savory Option: A mix of soy sauce and a few drops of sesame oil.
• The Purist’s Choice: A light Chinese red vinegar. Its tangy, slightly sweet flavor cuts through the richness without masking the shrimp.

Avoid heavy, dark sauces like sweet and sour or hoisin, as they will overwhelm the delicate taste.
