Ask a question about this stepUsing a 2 teaspoon scoop(#60), scoop up a shrimp dumpling and drop it into the simmering water. It should sink to the bottom. After a minute or so it should rise to the top. Remove it and set it on a paper towel lined plate. If it stays together and doesn't fall apart continue with the rest of the of the dumplings removing them once they float. If it falls apart add some bread crumbs and an egg yolk to the shrimp and combine it well.

Ask a question about this stepWell...I like dumplings, meatballs, shrimp and all your seasonings so thanks for sharing your recipe. OH, and I like sake too!
These look very, very wonderful :)
Thanks I am so glad you liked it.
Another stunner, Tom.
Saved and will print and prepare this soon....I love all the flavors that you have incorporated.
thanks and yes it is sake.
This was delish and really easy to make although my dumplings didn't come out looking as nicely as yours. I just scooped and drop them into the water and hoped for the best!
I did use a food processor for the sauce and it came out nicely. I'm really not a big fan of ginger but it didn't come out bitter as you said. It was a very nice light sauce.
