Preparation
- Begin by cleaning the shrimp thoroughly. Cut 10 shrimp in half, keeping the tails attached. Remove the tails separately and set aside for garnish.
- Take the remaining 10 shrimp and coarsely chop them along with the halved shrimp. This gives the filling both texture and flavor depth.
- Finely chop the chives and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Add the chopped shrimp, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of tuna extract, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper to the chives. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Soak a sheet of rice paper in cold water until it softens. Spread it gently on a flat surface.
- Place 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of the rice paper and top with one of the halved shrimp tails for presentation.
- Fold the rice paper in half over the filling, then roll it up tightly to seal the dumpling. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Brush the dumplings lightly with sesame oil to keep them from sticking.
- Steam the dumplings for 5–7 minutes until the shrimp are fully cooked and the filling is firm. Alternatively, you can pan-fry them in a lightly oiled skillet until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Serve hot with dipping sauce made by mixing soy sauce, vinegar, and plum extract. Enjoy!
