Ingredients

Method

In skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat; cook onions and garlic, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. In food processor, pulse together crab meat, onion mixture, tarragon, dill, bread crumbs, oyster sauce, smoked paprika, egg and lemon zest and juice until mixture comes together. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Lay 10 wrappers on work surface. Place 1 tbsp crab filling in center of each wrapper. Brush edges with a little water; fold corners of each wrapper into center to make bundles, pressing gently to seal. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers. Cover with tea towel; refrigerate for 30 minutes. (Make-ahead: Can be refrigerated overnight or frozen for up to 3 months.)

Grease bottom of steamer or line bamboo steam basket with parchment paper; arrange dumplings in single layer. Steam, in batches, until filling is cooked through, about 10 minutes (cut 1 dumpling in half to check). Serve with Tarragon Mayonnaise.

Test Kitchen Tip: If freezing dumplings, cook from frozen. Increase cooking time by 2 to 4 minutes.
