Shrimp Dumplings in Red Chili Oil are classic comfort food. They are so satisfying with big mouthful of yumminess. I have loved those Shrimp Dumplings since I was a kid. What I love to add to those dumplings after growing-up is Red Chili Oil. The spiciness certainly excites my appetite even more.
Dumplings have always been my favorite dim sum dish. They can be steamed, fried, stir-fried, or cooked in water. More importantly, you can eat them anytime โ as snacks, or as an entrรฉe or full meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

- 2 Garlic Cloves, finely grated
- 4 Chives, finely chopped
- 1 Egg White
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/2 tsp White Pepper
- 2 tsp Sesame Oil
- 2 tsp Cornstarch
- 20 Dumpling Wrappers (medium-large)

Red Chili Oil
- 3 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
- 3 tbsp Chinese Black Vinegar
- 2 tbsp Lao Gan Ma Crispy Chili Oil
- 1/2 tsp Sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, add the diced Shiitake Mushrooms, chopped Green Onions, chopped Chives, grated Ginger, grated Garlic, Egg White, Sea Salt, White Pepper, Sesame Oil, and Cornstarch. Combine everything well. Set aside.
- Prepare the Red Chili Oil. In another bowl, mix together Light Soy Sauce, Chinese Black Vinegar, Lao Gan Ma Crispy Chili Oil, and Sugar. Set aside.
- Put a little water in a bowl. Sprinkle some flour onto your countertop as a place to rest the dumplings once they are made. Take one dumpling wrapper and moisten the edges of the wrappers by using the water bowl to wet your fingertips. Then use chopsticks or a spoon to add the fillings into the wrappers.
- Next, use your fingers to pinch and make any kind of shape you like for the dumplings. Once the dumplings are made set them on the floured countertop to prevent them from sticking to the top and to each other! (Check out my video instruction to learn my special way of shaping the dumplings!)
- Cook the dumplings in a large pot of simmering water for 5-6 minutes or until the filling is cooked.ย
- Serve the dumplings in a bowl. Add in 3-4 tbsp of Homemade Red Chili Oil and garnish with some chopped Green Onions. Ready to enjoy!
