Tips:
The main ingredients for the traditional shrimp dumplings are shrimp, pork fat and winter bamboo shoots. I didn't put winter bamboo shoots here. It was delicious.
You can also put a whole shrimp in the filling of each shrimp dumpling. This is based on personal preference, I don't like it, so I didn't add it.
Orange flour is wheat starch and cannot be replaced by other starches.
When making the noodles, be sure to use the boiling water that has just been boiled, stir with chopsticks while pouring, and knead it quickly after stirring. Roll out a skin, make a dumpling, don't roll the skin and wrap it again to prevent the dough from drying out.
Don't pack too much when filling, the shrimp will swell and easily break when steaming.
Carrot slices do not need to be used. I have tried putting them directly on the steamer cloth and steaming them without sticking.
If you want the finished product to have high transparency, you must roll the skin as thin as possible.
