ingredients
-
Wrapper (optional)
- 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- boiling water
-
SAUCE
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon asian fish sauce
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
-
DUMPLINGS
- 1 1⁄2 lbs medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons cornstarch, plus more for dusting
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1⁄2 cup diced peeled jicama (1/4-inch)
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 45 gyoza skins (see Note)
- green leaf lettuce leaf, for steaming
directions
- MAKE THE DOUGH (IF DOING SO): combine all ingredients, adding boiling water as needed until you get a sticky but workable dough. roll out into a thin sheet, cutting into 3 inch rounds.
- MAKE THE SAUCE: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce with the water, lemon juice, fish sauce and scallion.
- MAKE THE DUMPLINGS: Very coarsely chop two-thirds of the shrimp and transfer to a food processor. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cornstarch, the soy sauce, lemon juice, egg, lemon zest, salt and pepper and process until very finely chopped. Scrape into a large bowl. Cut the remaining shrimp into 1/3-inch pieces and add to the bowl. Mix in the jicama and scallions.
- Dust a baking sheet with cornstarch. Lay 4 gyoza wrappers on a work surface; keep the rest covered with plastic wrap. Moisten the edges of the wrappers with water. Place a level tablespoon of filling on one side of each wrapper and fold in half to form half-moons. Press all around the filling to release any air pockets and to seal. Lift each dumpling by the sealed edge, transfer it to the baking sheet and press down lightly to flatten the bottom; the dumpling should be standing with the sealed side up on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Fill a wok or a very large skillet with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Line a double-tiered bamboo steamer with lettuce leaves and arrange half of the dumplings in the steamer without crowding. Cover and steam over moderate heat until firm and cooked through, about 12 minutes. Steam the remaining dumplings. Serve the dumplings right away, passing the dipping sauce at the table.

Yum! The lemon in these made them special. I only had frozen pre-cooked shrimp so I thawed and used them. It worked out great. thanks for posting!! made for Culinary Quest FP 2014. -
I finally got to make these last night. I made 1/2 the dumpling recipe but I'm glad I made the sauce as per recipe. These were delicious and remarkably easy to make. I substituted water chestnuts for the jicama, as I'm not sure it's available in Australia. Great recipe.

I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more.
I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking.
My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly
