You’re a Visionary

A festive twist on tradition, these wontons get tied to look like little coin pouches. They’re full of juicy and tender shrimp, all wrapped up and ready to elevate your next Lunar New Year party.

How to Pick Wonton Wrappers

Often wonton or square dumpling wrappers are found in the refrigerated aisle near the tofu or fresh noodle shelves at your local grocery store. If you cannot find the yellow ones, green will also do.

Ingredient Swaps

If you cannot eat shrimp, ground pork will work as well.

Nutrition Information

These dumplings feature shrimp, offering a delightful seafood twist! With just 3 ounces of cooked shrimp containing under 100 calories and nearly 20 grams of protein, they’re a nutritious choice. For those focusing on weight management in the new year, research has shown that increasing protein portions during caloric restriction may improve diet quality and reduce the loss of lean body mass.

Instructions

MAKING THE FILLING

  1. Divide the raw shrimp into two portions. Finely chop one portion and rough chop the other. Combine the two in a medium bowl. 
  2. Dice the bamboo shoots finely and add 2 tablespoons of bamboo into the bowl. 
  3. Mix cornstarch, sesame oil, light soy sauce, granulated sugar, Shaoxing cooking wine, grated ginger, salt, and white pepper into the bowl until the mixture becomes tacky.  
  4. Boil water in a saucepot, then add in the Chinese chives. Blanche for 30 seconds and remove from heat. Immediately rinse with cold water then drain. 
  5. Spoon about ½ to 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of each wrapper. Gather the corners towards the center, then pinch right above the filling and slightly twist. Tie the blanched chives around the wontons and gently knot once. Tighten knot as best as you can. 

COOKING THE WONTONS

  1. Fill the cooking pot 1/2 full of water, place into the rice cooker, and shut the lid.
  2. Select the Sauté function, adjust time to 30 minutes, then tap Start. Let pot come to a boil before the next step. 
  3. Drop wontons in carefully, 8 to 10 at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pot, then shut the lid. 
  4. Boil for 6 minutes or until it stays afloat, strain with slotted spoon, place into a bowl with some olive oil, swirl, and repeat with the rest. 
  5. Serve immediately with soy sauce. 

Chef Notes: Make sure leftover wrappers are wrapped and sealed tight before freezing them.
