早茶之水晶笋丁虾饺 (Zao Cha Zhi Shui Jing Sun Ding Xia Jiao)



I really love the varieties of dim sum. And the steamed shrimp dumpling is one of my favorite dim sum entrees. The transparent wrapper of this dish has always been a mystery to me, and today I had the luck to make this dish with similar taste as in dim sum restaurants. And the great news is, you can make it too.
