Asian Dumplings
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 Rolling Pin
- 1 Dumpling steamer or bamboo steamer
- 1 Large pot
- 1 Skillet
- 1 Dumpling press or fork
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1 cup cabbage finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger minced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 green onions chopped
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Mix flour and water in a bowl until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 5 minutes until smooth, then let it rest for 10 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine pork, cabbage, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, green onions, egg, salt, and pepper.
- Roll the dough into a long cylinder and divide it into 24 pieces.
- Roll each piece into a thin circle using a rolling pin.
- Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each dough circle.
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal.
- Use a dumpling press or fork to crimp the edges for a tighter seal.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and place the dumplings in a steamer.
- Steam the dumplings over the boiling water for 10 minutes or until cooked through.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil.
- Fry the steamed dumplings until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can serve the dumplings with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil. Ensure the dumplings are sealed properly to prevent the filling from leaking out during the cooking process. If you don't have a steamer, you can boil the dumplings directly in water until they float to the top, and then pan-fry them for added crispiness.
