Ingredients
Dumplings:
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon arrowroot
- 1/2 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup frozen petite peas, thawed
- 1/4 cup chopped chives
- 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 4 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil cooking spray
Dipping sauce:
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3/4 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
Directions
Dumplings: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg white, sesame oil and arrowroot until frothy. Stir in the bell pepper, carrot, peas, chives, ginger, salt, and shrimp. Put 1/2 of the mixture in a food processor. Blend until the mixture forms a chunky paste. Return the paste to the bowl and combine it with the remaining vegetable mixture. Cut each egg roll wrapper into 4 equal-sized squares. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the center of each piece of dough. Gather the sides of the egg roll wrapper around the filling leaving the top of the filling uncovered. If necessary, use a little water to help secure the wrapper in place. Spray the bottom of a bamboo or stainless steel steamer with vegetable oil cooking spray. Working in batches, stand the dumplings, uncovered filling side up, in the steamer and cover. Steam until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, hot sauce and garlic.
Arrange the dumplings on a platter and serve the dipping sauce alongside.

I tried it without the shrimp. It turned out good. I like Giada's food and show but I always wonder why she waste a lot of stuff while transferring the contents from one dish to another. She just throw containers in the sink without emptying it. I feel so bad. But other chefs doesn't do this.

The dipping sauce was delicious but you can find better dim sum from a chinese restaurant.

I loved the dipping sauce! Everyone did!!
And I'm making this sauce from now on to go with ANY future chinese dish. It's so flavorful and just like in the chinese restaurants, even better.
As for the dumplings, I thought they were good. I liked them. But... I certainly think the ones you get in dim sum restaurants are better. They came out looking beautiful and I loved how the little chunks of shrimp inside the filling tasted.
I also love how Giada comes up with unique ways to make use of egg roll wrappers. I also saw her make ravioli with egg roll wrappers. Who knew they could be so versatile?
