Steps to make Hong Kong style crystal shrimp dumplings

1. Finely chop the pork belly, finely chop the sagebrush, and finely chop the cilantro for later use. Remove the shell from the shrimp, pick out the shrimp intestines, wash them clean, filter the water, and cut them into coarse sections.
2. Add salt to the shrimp and mix well with eagle chestnut powder (salt 1: cornstarch 3).
3. Keep scratching until there is stickiness (look around the bowl, there must be stickiness).
4. Then add the sliced fatty pork and sagebrush.
5. First, add sesame oil to the mushroom powder and knead well.
6. Add evenly kneaded mushroom powder to the filling.
7. After stirring, add salt, lard, sugar, and finally add coriander and stir evenly. (Add in sequence)
At this point, you can make the skin by pouring 200 grams of starch into the bowl (please add strictly according to the weight).
9. Add 60g of eagle chestnut powder and mix well.
10. After mixing well, slowly add boiling water while stirring, do not add boiling water all at once (this is very important)
After stirring the powder in the bowl evenly (without any particles), you can add the final 140g of eagle chestnut powder.
12. After stirring into small balls, pour them onto a cutting board and press.
13. Repeatedly rolling open means rolling layer by layer repeatedly.
14. Divide into small groups.
15. Flatten the small ball.
16. Then use your hands to press the skin evenly into a flat shape, and you can wrap it (the master said that if you steam the skin with a rolling pin, it will be too hard, so they all use their palms to flatten it)
17. Boil the water in a pot until it boils.
18. After the water boils, place the steamer on top and preheat it.
Preheat until the steamer releases steam, then put the shrimp dumplings in.
Steam for 5 minutes (do not remove the lid during steaming).
21. Fresh, sweet, juicy, and fragrant delicious crystal shrimp dumplings have been born!
