Sweet Potato Shao Mai Dumplings
- 8 whole Wonton Skins
- 1- 1/2 cup Mashed Sweet Potato
- 3 cloves Roasted Garlic, Minced
- 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Parmesan Reggiano Cheese, Grated
- 1/4 cups Pine Nuts
- Place a small, dry saute pan over medium heat.
- Add pine nuts, and toast until golden brown.
- Turns pine nuts often, making sure to avoid burning them.
- Place a wonton skin on a cutting board.
- Using a round cookie cutter or knife, cut out circles.
- Repeat with all remaining wonton skins.
- Mix sweet potato, garlic, parmesan cheese and toasted pine nuts in a small bowl.
- Spoon rounded tablespoons into each wonton skin.
- Holding wonton skin in your left palm, make small pinches around the diameter of the skin.
- Fill remaining wonton skins with potato mixture.
- Place wontons in a steamer basket (see note below) for 8-10 minutes.
- Remove carefully and serve while still hot.
- Note: dont have a steamer basket?
- Me neither!
- Here was my solution:
- Place a small saucepan of water on the stove top and bring water to a boil.
- Place a metal colander or strainer atop the saucepan, and gently place dumplings in the bottom on the colander.
- Top with the lid of a larger saucepan and steam for 8-10 minutes.
