Dumplings-Pot Stickers


I made these dumplings sometime ago and they were really delicious. Since then, my kids have been craving for more. So last evening, I decided to make some for them. This time though, I made the dumplings using store-bought wrappers. The dumplings turned out great too! If you are keen on making your own wrappers, I do have the recipe over on my older post for these dumplings. Click here to get the recipe. Okay, have a good weekend and Happy 4th of July!



Dumplings-Pot Stickers


Ingredients

200g Ground Pork
100g Prawns, finely chopped
200g Napa Cabbage, finely shredded
1 stalk Scallions, finely minced
80g Chives, finely chopped
20g Ginger, finely minced
2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 1/2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
1 1/2 Tbsp Sake or Chinese Cooking Wine
1/2 Tbsp Sugar
1 1/2 tsp Ground White Pepper
1/2 Tbsp Corn Starch
3/4 tsp Sea Salt

1 Packet (50 pcs) Dumpling Wrappers

Sauce
4 Tbsp Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp Vinegar
1 Tbsp Sesame Oil

Method

Mix the cabbage with 1 tsp of sea salt and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then, drain and squeeze out all the excess water.

Prepare the filling by combining all the above ingredients and marinate for about 30 minutes.

Place 2 tsp of the filling in the center of dough, fold and shape.

Steam the dumplings for about 8 to 10 minutes on high heat.

Pan-fry the dumplings with 1 Tbsp of oil over a medium heat. Then add 3 Tbsp of water and simmer for another 3 minutes.

Serve the dumplings with the soy sauce mixture and some chopped scallions.

I love making dumplings at home. I haven't in quite awhile, and after seeing yours I may not be able to avoid it much longer! They look picture perfect, and I bet they didn't last long at all!

Yums!! For those who like a spicy kick, can cut some small chilies (chili padi) and put them in the soy sauce. Or do it with a Sichuan twist and put in some chili flakes with chili oil. or... have it with mayo like gyoza!

I am a complete dumpling fanatic!

These look delicious! Store bought wrappers seem like a good way to go most nights.
