Unfortunately, today the weather is not beautiful, so I decided to prepare something good that can cheer me up a little and so today we eat some nice Boiled Chinese Dumplings With Chicken And Shrimp!
Boiled Chinese Dumplings with Chicken and Shrimp
Today’s dumplings have a filling made with chicken and prawns and as cooking I chose to make them boiled, because I had not yet prepared them in this way and I must say that they are very good and light, I could eat them by the load, I’m not kidding!
For the pasta I used a dough based only on flour, instead of the Dougt For Dumpling that I usually use, which also contains starch. The result is really excellent and above all elastic and resistant.
The filling is more delicate than the Guotie. In addition to the chicken and shrimp, I added some Shiitake mushrooms to make the filling tastier. To serve them I used the green part of the spring onion and the Spicy Chinese Oil which is not only a spicy oil, but also very aromatic thanks to the various spices including sichuan pepper and I must say that they turned out to be delicious! As usual, if you don’t like spicy, you can enjoy them with soy sauce with ginger cut into very thin strips and a drop of sesame oil, or with Chinese vinegar or create your own combination.
Between the dough and the filling I managed to prepare about sixty Boiled Chinese Dumplings With Chicken And Shrimp which should be enough for at least 5 portions if you eat only those, but I leave you to decide since we have safely brushed all three of them😅!
