Directions
DUMPLINGS
For dumplings:
In a bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, cabbage, scallions, cilantro, ginger, sesame oil, salt and pepper. Lay out 5 won ton skins and place a small amount of the shrimp mixture in the center of each skin. Moisten the edges with egg wash and place another skin on top. Seal very tightly, using a ramekin works well. In salted boiling water, blanch dumplings for 3 to 4 minutes or until the skins are soft and translucent. Serve immediately in the ginger broth.
For broth:
In a large sauce pan, heat the oil. Saute the onion, jalapeno and ginger until soft. Deglaze with
the fish sauce. Add the chicken stock and a dash of white pepper. Simmer slowly and reduce to a little over 3 cups, about 45 minutes. Strain and keep hot. Taste for seasoning.

STEAMED SHRIMP SHUMAI

Variation #2:
