It's the third Saturday and time for my Cultural Connections post over at Our Krazy Kitchen . Today I am doing steamed dumplings, so I hope you can join me over there and check it out!
My friend is starting a series "Meet The Bloggers" I am her first guest being interviewed on Robyn's Nest if you would like to get to know me a little better you could visit there as well.
INGREDIENTS
100 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers
1 lb ground pork
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon grated lemongrass
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
4 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons sesame oil
1 egg, beaten
1 cup finely shredded Chinese cabbage (I used less)
..DIRECTIONS
1.In a large bowl, combine the pork, ginger, garlic, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg and cabbage. Stir until well mixed.
2.Place 1 heaping teaspoon of pork filling onto each wonton skin. Moisten edges with water and fold edges over to form a triangle shape. Roll edges slightly to seal in filling*. Set dumplings aside on a lightly floured surface until ready to cook.
3.To Cook: Steam dumplings in a covered bamboo or metal steamer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately. These also freeze well and you can heat them in a pan to make potstickers
I didn't realize this was so simple. I have wonton wrappers in the freezer. Got to put the ingredients on my grocery list for this morning along with the buttercream for the biscuits!

ReplyDeleteI do a similar recipe from time to time they are so yummy. dIANE
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this recipe. I love, love, love, dumplings!!! These sounds delicious with ginger and lemongrass and soy. I will attempt them, but I am a bit nervous about the steaming process. Lyndsey, I admire your cultural experimentations with food! All best, Ana.

Anncoo - That was so nice of you Ann, it was interesting to do. Some things you never think about until someone asks you!
Annie - thanks!
Bo - thanks, they looked better before they cooled off a little!
Diane - I'll have to see yours sometime!
Ana, thanks, steaming seems a little kinder to them than boiling. I love trying different cultures foods. I just wish I could get hands on experience or someone showing me.
oh wow these look wonderful, and on my way over to learn more about ya!!
ReplyDeleteI admit to not wanting to delve in this type of Asian cuisine, because quite frankly I wouldn't know what to treat myself when I pick my favourite eatery. I'll bookmark your recipe just in case I change my mind.
ReplyDeleteIt looks delicious ;o)
Ciao for now and flavourful wishes,
Claudia
Nicely done, those dumplings are beautifully formed.
ReplyDelete*kisses* HH
I love, love, love dumplings! These are so tempting and delicious looking!
ReplyDeleteWhat type of dipping sauce do you use?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, I like to use soy sauce, rice vinegar or Chinese black vinegar, and a touch of sesame oil. Some like it a little sweet, the black vinegar is a tad sweet like balsamic or you could add some mirin or ponzu sauce to sweeten it. You can also add finely slice green onions.
