Comments Off on Dumplings
Sure! Dumplings are versatile, bite-sized pockets of dough filled with savory or sweet ingredients. They can be steamed, boiled, pan-fried, or deep-fried. A classic example is the Chinese Shumai dumpling, which typically has a pork and shrimp filling.
Shumai Dumplings Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup water (warm)
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1/2 cup shelled and deveined shrimp
- 6 large fresh or dried mushrooms, chopped
- 1 spring onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, gradually mix flour and water until you get a smooth dough.
- Knead for about 5 minutes, then cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine pork, shrimp, chopped mushrooms, spring onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt.
- Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add cornstarch and mix gently to coat the filling.
- Forming the Dumplings:
- Divide the dough into small balls (about 1-inch in diameter).
- Roll each ball into a thin circle, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
- Place a teaspoon of the prepared filling in the center of each circle.
- Fold the dough over to form half-moon shapes and press edges together tightly.
- Cooking:
- Steaming: Place dumplings on a steamer tray, leaving some space between them. Steam for about 10-15 minutes or until the wrappers are translucent and cooked through.
- Boiling: Bring a pot of water to a boil, add dumplings, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they float.
- Pan-frying: Cook in hot oil or a skillet with a little bit of oil. Start by frying them on the uncooked side for 2-3 minutes, then flip and steam from the other side for another minute to ensure both sides are golden and cooked.
- Serve:
- Serve dumplings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce with vinegar or a sweet chili sauce.
Enjoy your delicious homemade Shumai dumplings!
