SHRIMP RICE NOODLE DIM SUM RECIPES

Steps:

• Sift the rice flour, tapioca starch, wheat starch, potato starch, and salt into a large bowl. Mix in the lukewarm water, stirring until a consistency of very thin glue is reached.
• When ready to cook, mix again until there are no clumps. Using a brush, generously oil a rimmed eighth sheet pan. Using a ladle, pour just as much batter in the pan as needed to form a thin, even layer. (The thinner you can keep your roll, the better.) Put 3 medium to large or 6 small shrimp onto each roll, placing them 1 inch from one narrow edge.
• Set up a 12-inch steamer: Fill a wok with enough water to come up to the lower rim of a steamer but not so much the waterline is above the food bed. (If you do want to DIY it, just use a plate in a pot. Fill a pot with ½ an inch of water. Then make a sort of tripod out of tinfoil by forming three golf ball– sized balls and placing them in the bottom of the pot, making sure their tops rest above the water- line. Rest the plate on the tinfoil, cover, and steam.) Bring water to a boil.
• Place the sheet pan in the steamer, cover, and steam for 6 minutes, or until you see bubbles on top of the mixture. If you need more water— water tends to evaporate—add boiling, not cold, water so as not to stop the steaming.
• Carefully remove the sheet pan from the steamer and set on a work surface (it will be hot, so be prudent). Let cool for a minute or so. Then, using a bench scraper, start rolling the rice roll from the top of the pan away from you until folded into a loose roll. Cut in half widthwise.
• Brush the pan with oil again and repeat until you’ve used up all the batter.
• When ready to serve, briefly re-steam the rolls for 1 to 2 minutes until hot.
• Heat a small saucepan to medium-low heat and add all ingredients. Stir until sugar and chicken powder are dissolved. Spoon atop rice rolls.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the wheat starch, tapioca starch and the salt. Slowly stir in the boiling water and you can see there is no dry flour in the bowl. Set aside for around 5 minutes.
• Add some lard (or not) and knead the flour into a dough until smooth. If you are using cooking oil, add the oil in the middle of your kneading process. Set the dough aside.
• Peel fresh shrimp and devein. Finely mince the shrimp and add cooking wine, soy sauce, pepper powder and chopped ginger firstly. Stir the filling in one direction until you get a paste like texture. Set aside to marinate for around 10 minutes.
• Get the dough out and knead around another 4~5 minutes to punch the air out and then roll the dough into a cylinder around 1 inch and then cut it into small sections around 1 inch diameter.
• Roll the small sections out to thin round wrappers one by one.
• Add chopped spring onions in the shrimp meat and mix well. Wrap the dumplings one by one.
• Slice some carrots slices and put the carrots slices firstly in your steamer and then place the dumplings on the carrots slices one by one.
• Put the steamer in wok, bring water to a boiling and steam for around 10 minutes.
