Bergy Dim Sum 5 Steamed Shrimp Dumplings

The right name for this appetizer is har gow. This can also be part of a dim sum brunch.for a dim sum brunch you would usually serve about 8-10 dishes different dishes, depending on the appetites of your guests. This recipe can be frozen and when you wish to serve it take it frozen and steam them over very high heat. I prefer to freeze them unsteamed. These are tasty!!

Steps

Sift flour and salt into a bowl of mixer fitted with the dough paddle and quickly add the boiling water.
Mix until springy.
When cool enough to touch , knead a few times on an oiled surface.
If you do not have a mixer , after you have added the water to the flour / salt work the dough with the handle of a wooden spoon until it is cool enough to knead by hand.
Then knead on an oiled surface until springy.
Cover with a damp cloth and set aside.
Mix shrimp , water chestnuts , soy sauce , sugar and cornstarch with your fingers until sticky.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Roll the dough out into a long sausage and cut off pieces.
Roll out each piece into a thin round.
Place a teaspoon of the filling on each round and pinch the edges together.
Oil your steamer and place the dumplings in it and steam over high heat for 8-9 minutes.
Serve with a spicy chili sauce or soy mixed with hot mustard.
