Directions

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine ground meat of choice, minced shrimp, green onions, garlic, ginger, water (or broth for deeper flavor), shaoxing wine, chicken bouillon, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, pepper and baking soda.
  2. 2Mix well until everything forms a thick paste.
  3. 3Dip a wrapper in water to rid it of extra starch.

  5. 5Spoon a few tablespoons of filling and spread evenly to cover the bowl (about 1/4 inch thick).
  6. 6Continue to repeat the same steps with dipping the wrapper in water and layering between the filling, leaving about 1 inch of space from the top of the bowl.
  7. 7For the final layer, place 2-3 sheets of wrapper over the top layer of filling.
  8. 8In a large steamer or pan, bring water to a rolling boil then reduce to a gentle simmer.
  9. 9Carefully place each filled bowl into the steamer and steam for 20-25 minutes until cooked through or until internal temperature is 165F.
