Instructions

Shrimp Dumplings

Combine all ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl.
Line a cookie sheet with plastic wrap to prevent the dumplings from sticking.
Place one tablespoon of filling in the middle of a wonton wrapper.
Avoid letting the wonton wrappers become too dry by keeping them covered while preparing. If you are preparing dumplings for a later cooking time, make sure to keep them wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator until ready for use.
Dip a fingertip in a small bowl of water and wet 2 sides of the wrapper.
Fold wrapper half and tuck edges with another dot of water to seal.
Preheat a non-stick or cast iron fry pan to a medium high heat and then add oil.
Place dumplings in hot pan and cook 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Add 1/2 cup broth or water to the bottom of the fry pan and cover.
Cook an additional 2-3 minutes until all the liquid has been absorbed.
Remove from pan and serve with Soy Dipping Sauce.

Soy Dipping Sauce

Stir all ingredients together in a small mixing bowl until sugar is dissolved.
