How to make a transparent shrimp dumpling

Ingredients: wheat starch, glutinous rice flour.

Filling preparation: fresh shrimp, carrots, bamboo shoots, ginger, white pepper, sesame oil and salt.

Practice steps:

Firstly, 3 parts of wheat starch and 1 part of water-milled sticky rice flour are mixed evenly, and this mixture is called shrimp dumpling powder. Take out most of the shrimp dumpling powder and melt it into sticky starch water with cold water, then pour the starch water into a non-stick pan and stir it quickly with low fire until the starch water becomes translucent dough.

Then put the remaining shrimp dumpling powder in a non-stick pan and knead it evenly with the translucent dough, and knead it into a smooth dough with moderate hardness, which is similar to the dough you usually wrap in jiaozi. After kneading the dough, turn a large bowl upside down and let the dough relax for 10 to 15 minutes.
