Serving: 6
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes

For the Shrimp Cheung Fun:
6 pieces dumpling wrappers
2 tablespoons oil
1 pound deveined shrimp
Pinch of salt
Pinch of white pepper
1 tablespoon sesame oil

For the sauce:
4 tablespoons hot water
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

To season the shrimp:

• In a mixing bowl, add the deveined shrimp, and season it with salt, white pepper, and sesame oil. Mix well.

To prepare the dumpling wrappers:

• Place a dumpling wrapper flat, and brush some oil over it. (By doing so the wrapper will become more flexible, and it won’t stick to another wrapper.)
• Top it with another wrapper, and brush oil over it. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
• Use a rolling pin and roll the wrappers to about 6 to 8 inches in diameter (depending on the original size of the dumpling wrappers).

To assemble:

• Add some shrimp in the center of a wrapper. Fold the bottom up, and fold the top down. Repeat with the rest.

To steam:

• Transfer the shrimp cheung fun on a steamer rack.
• In a large pot over high heat, bring water to a boil. Place the steamer rack over the pot, and cover the lid. Steam over high heat for 5 minutes until completely cooked through. Carefully remove.

To make the dipping sauce and serve:

• In a bowl, add the hot water and sugar. Whisk until dissolved. Pour in the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well.
• Pour the sauce over the shrimp Cheung fun.
