Chicken and Shrimp Dumplings 4 Ways

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Chicken and shrimp dumplings 4 ways is simple yet very delicious appetizer. Done in 4 ways so you won’t get tired of it. Steamed and fried, with original dumpling wrappers and tofu skin.

The reason why I gave a recommendation to made dumplings is because my sister (Hani) once made it a long time ago and it gave me a good impression. Other than that, right now dumpling is on viral in Bandung, Indonesia. Many college students open dim sum/dumplings business and the place is always crowded, we even have to wait for 30-45 minutes to eat them, so I want to give it a try this chicken and shrimp dumplings in 4 ways.

The Ingredients
  • Uncooked Tofu Skin Dumplings
  • Uncooked Dumplings

Dumplings usually use dumpling wrapper/dough, but since there is leftover tofu skin in my house, I decided to make dumplings with that. When I tried it, it turns out that it’s more delicious than a regular dumpling wrapper.

For this recipe I ended up with 35 dumplings. 22 regular dumplings & 13 dumplings with tofu skin.

With this recipe I created 4 ways of making dumplings, they are:

  1. Steamed regular dumplings
  2. Steamed tofu skin dumplings
  3. Fried regular dumplings
  4. Fried tofu skin dumplings

For personal preference, the most I like is fried tofu skin dumplings. Crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside!

    Great recipe.
    Just on recipe edit, you accidentally typed 1 tbsp Round dumpling wrapperinstead of cornstarch.
