Note

Ensure shrimp are fully cooked; they should turn opaque and pink. If using frozen shrimp, thaw and pat dry before chopping.

For a vegan variation, replace shrimp and turkey with firm tofu and use egg replacer for binding.

Uncooked dumplings can be stored in the freezer on a baking sheet before transferring to a bag; cook from frozen by adding 2-3 minutes to cooking time.

Serve with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a dash of chili oil.
