Rachel’s Pan-Fried Dumplings for Year of the Dragon 🥟 (or the Super Bowl)

[rachel776]

My easy and delicious Chinese dumplings

Also try these steamed, air-fried, or boiled into your favorite soup

Ingredients

Use pre-made fresh or frozen dumpling skins from the Asian market (or high-end grocery store such as Gelsons in LA, Wegmans in New York, or Publix in Nashville)

For the dumpling filling

1 head of Napa cabbage, shredded very thin
1 lb. ground pork
1/4 c. soft tofu, minced very fine
2 scallions, shallots, or Vidalia onions, thinly sliced
1 T soy sauce, we use Wuan Chuang soy sauce from Constance Woo (Fresh Off the Boat, Crazy Rich Asians), or you can use Kikkoman
2 T white wine, use a good wine you would drink, we like Penfolds Max's Chardonnay from Australia
2 T ginger, finely minced, I use fresh or Dorot frozen ginger

Instructions

Finely chop the cabbage, cover with cold water in a pot, bring to a boil, cook until stalks are softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain excess water. Use an Instant Pot to do this faster

In a large bowl, mix cabbage with all other ingredients

Spread flour on your cutting board and two sheet pans

Lay out pre-made dough on cutting board, fill with ingredients and fold, then pinch up along the sides until fully sealed

Pan-fry dumplings, or boil a large pot of water until they rise to the top and cook through

Or, you can steam the dumplings, or use an air fryer. We use the Breville Joule Pro

Serve with soy sauce and hot chili oil to dip

The last pic scared the sh*t out of me. You could have used a different colour for censoring his face.🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love any type of yummy dumpling! You should try soup based dumplings where it’s inside if you haven’t already. Only some places serve it though :)
