Shrimp and Cucumber Dumplings

These shrimp and cucumber dumplings are fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly easy to make at home! The combination of juicy shrimp and crisp cucumber creates a light yet delicious filling, wrapped in a soft, homemade dumpling skin. Boiled until perfectly tender, these dumplings are best enjoyed with a simple dipping sauce of vinegar, soy sauce, and chili oil. I made 40 dumplings with this recipe—perfect for sharing with family and friends! Enjoy!

Shrimp and Pork Filled Chinese Chive Dumplings Shrimp and Pork Filled Chinese Chive Dumplings
I was inspired by the Chinese chive buns that I had at a restaurant. I sort of made it up, and the results were delicious. See"Ultra-easy Gyoza Dumpling Skins" for instructions on making the skins.These dumplings are packed with filling. The skins will stretch a lot and you'll wonder "what if it won't hold the filling?" but they will. The dumplings will puff up when they are steam-fried so leave some space in between them. Finally, be very careful not to poke a hole in the dumplings when you turn them over (or the juice will escape!) Recipe by Setsubunhijiki cookpad.japan -
Plump and Juicy! Shrimp Wonton Dumplings Plump and Juicy! Shrimp Wonton Dumplings
I love shrimp. More than the wrappers and more than the meat, I wanted to emphasize the shrimp! So I used very thin wrappers and filled them with lots of shrimp.The keys to plump and juicy shrimp is to prepare the shrimp properly, and to not cut the shrimp with a knife.Once you boil the wonton they'll look OK, so you can be a bit sloppy when you make the dumplings.You can freeze the formed dumplings.

Easy Steamed Shrimp and Edamame Gyoza Dumplings Easy Steamed Shrimp and Edamame Gyoza Dumplings
I created this recipe because shrimp was on sale.When you leave the dumplings on a plate for a long time, the liquid comes out. The dumpling skins will stick to the plate, and they might break, so please steam them shortly after wrapping. If you make the dumpling skins from scratch, dumplings will become more chewy and plump.
