Steamed Shrimp And Vegetable Dumplings

This was me trying to deconstruct the steamed dumplings i get at chinese restaurants, plus adding shrimp. I think it turned out pretty well.

In a large bowl mix together all the minced vegetables.

It is important that the vegetables are a very small dice because they are filling the small wontons.

In a skillet , saute the shrimp in the oil until just about pink.

I did not fully cook the shrimp because i feel that the steamer does the rest for me.

But if you feel differently , by all means go ahead and cook the shrimp fully.

The shrimp should also be chopped small , i like chopping them after they cook , it seems easier.

Once the shrimp has cooled , add it to the minced vegetables and add the salt to season.

Take each wonton square and add a small amount of filling to the center.

Take your index finger , wet it and trace it around the edge of each wonton.

Pinch each edge of the wontons so to make a triangle , then bring each of the three.

Repeat steps four and five until you use up all the filling.

Prepare your steamer with the water , heat it for a minute or so , and then lay the lettuce leaves on the bottom to.
