Steamed Dumpling Wrapper

This recipe can be used for a thin or thicker wrapper depending on what you prefer based off the filling used. This is the same type of wrapper used in the steamed shrimp dumplings you see at Dim Sum (pictured left). 

This is also the version Stephenie's grand-mother uses for "Chi Chi's". 

1 cup wheat starch

1 heaping tbsp tapioca flour
3 dashes salt

1 tsp oil (vegetable)
1/2 cup boiling water

Tortilla press

Mix starch, tapioca flour, and salt together. Then add oil. Gradually add water while mixing. Mix until able to knead into a ball (pick up the extra ingredients on the side of the bowl during the kneading process).

Wrap the each side of the tortilla press in plastic wrap so the wrappers do not stick. Lubricate the sides with a little oil. From the dough, form balls relative to the size of wrapper you want. Press the balls in the press to the desired size.

Now they are ready to fill with filling.
Steam for 8 minutes.
