Directions
First make the filling. Roughly chop the shrimps. Add the salt, sugar,
pepper and cornflour. Stir in the carrots, sesame oil and parsley;
mix to bind the ingredients together. Chill for 30 minutes. For the
dough, sift the flour, cornfiour and salt into a large bowl. Pour in
the boiling water and stir quickly, then knead the mixture with the
lard on to a lightly floured surface until smooth. Roll the dough
into cylinder, then cut it into 40 equal portions. Flatten a portion
of dough, then roll it out thinly to give a round or oval shape. Put
a little filling in the mlddle, then enclose lt in the dough,
pressineg the edges together to make a three-sided seam. Some of the
dumplings can be folded in half and the edges pinched into a frilly
pattern. Alternatively, the top of the dumplings can be left. Brush
the very edge of the pastry with a little food colouring. Continue
until all the dough and filling is used. Arrange the dumplings in a
greased steamer and simmer and cook over boiling water for 8 minutes.
