How to Make Dumplings:
- Fill a small glass or shot glass with cold water. Have your wrappers open and a stack on your clean work surface. Working with one wrapper at a time, dip a finger into the water and coat the outside edge of the wrapper making a wet ring. This will help seal the dumplings, preventing them from opening when they cool. Add a teaspoon of the Thai Shrimp Paste to the center of each wrapper.
- Fold the two opposite wrapper sides together, surrounding the Thai Shrimp paste in the middle.

- Make sure the wrapper is sealed, with no filling around the edges, or the dumplings will leak and may open when cooking.
