Steamed Crystal Dumplings - one of the classic dim sum π₯ Crystal dumplings got its name from its almost translucent crystal looking skin after being steamed. The filling is often shrimp which become red when cooked. A good wrapper should be thin and translucent that allow you to see through the filling. In Mandarin, we called that η½ιιηΊ’ (bai li tou hong) white touched with red. This is one of the most challenging recipes I have ever made. I failed so many times until I got it right. Wrapping them takes lots of practice, too. But nevertheless, it was satisfying to see the end result! Also, I am very proud to say that there's no mock meat in this! π I made the filling with tempeh, mushrooms and carrot instead.
