These are so easy to make just mix, stuff in the wrappers and fry! Do not cook the pork or shrimp before using in this recipe, they will cook while frying, do not add in more than 1 tablespoon filling into each wrapper or the filling will not cook properly, also you can add in 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste) if desired to the filling. Serve the cooked dumplings on the side with your favorite hot chili dipping sauce! Ingredients:
1 lb ground pork, uncooked |
1/2 lb raw shrimp (shelled, deveined and finely chopped or minced) |
