    Shrimp and Corn Dumplings

    Shrimp and Corn Dumplings recipe

    I was born in the western part of China where dumplings are not so popular in daily cooking. But we have a famous street food named as Zhong dumplings, which is actually Sichuan style spicy dumpling. Those dumplings have strong flavor and I do love them much.

    Grown up, I am bought to all types of Chinese food and different featured dumplings have become one of my big advantages in kitchen. They are easy to make and delicious in taste.

    With different cooking methods and stuffing, we have different types of dumplings. For example, we have steamed dumplings, pan-fried dumplings known as pot sticker, boiled dumplings and fried dumplings.

    The stuffing has two versions in general, one is with meat and the other version is vegetarian. In additionally, we still have egg dumpling—with pan-fried eggs as the wrappers. Besides, we have different ways of folding dumplings. In daily life, we use little moon shape or easy cabbage dumpling shape, but in holidays, dumplings are always folded as fish or willow leaf. The spring festival is coming, and I will introduce those ways of folding dumplings in the recipes introducing dumplings next month. I really will be glad to share you my dear readers how nice those dumplings can be.

    Shrimp and Corn Dumplings recipe

    The dumpling introduced today is a simple type shrimp and corn dumpling. I just make two bowls for breakfast. So do double or triple the amount of ingredients as needed.

    Only two main ingredients needed for the meat stuffing—chopped shrimp and corn.

    Then add salt and black pepper with shrimp and corn to make the shrimp stuffing.

    The reason why I match shrimp and corn is because I want to make a slightly sweet taste out of the dumplings. Both of the two main ingredients have sweet taste.
