This past weekend I went to an incredible Asian restaurant for my mom’s birthday! My family and I tried many different Asian dishes, and I knew immediately that I had to get home and re-create some of them Dashing Dish style!
These Asian Shrimp Dumplings are so flavorful, no one will believe they are only 30 calories a piece! Better yet, they are really simple to prepare, but they look like they came from a fancy restaurant, so they’re sure to impress on every level!
Ingredients:
- 1 can sliced water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup red pepper, finely diced
- 1/4 cup green onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 4 oz mini shrimp, precooked (OR regular shrimp, chopped OR 4oz cooked chicken, chopped OR 2 Asian Morningstar burgers, chopped)
- 1/2 tbs soy sauce
- 1 tbs teriyaki sauce
- 1/2 cup fat free cream cheese
- 1 packet stevia
- 24 wonton wrappers
Method:
1.Place cream cheese in a mug and microwave for 20 seconds. Mix together cream cheese and all the rest of the ingredients, (except for wonton wrappers) in a medium size bowl.
2. Lay wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Place 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of a wonton wrapper, being careful to avoid the edges.
3. Using your finger tip, (or small kitchen brush), trace the edges of the wonton wrapper with water. Fold wonton wrapper in half over filling, pressing the two layers together to seal.
4. Repeat the process until all the wonton wrappers are filled. (For a quick and easy method I suggest laying out your wonton wrappers and making an assembly line.)
5. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium to low heat, and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Transfer wonton wrappers in the pan (as many that will fit at one time, without over crowding.) Cook dumplings for 1 minute on each side, until the bottoms are light golden brown.
6. Pour 1/8 cup water into the pan and immediately cover the pan with a lid. Turn the heat to medium and let the dumplings steam for 1-2 minutes. Take off the lid and let the remaining liquid cook off, (takes about 1 more minute). Turn off heat, and remove dumplings from the pan. Brush with with Teriyaki sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve!
Enjoy! Love Katie
