Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Dandelion Dumplings Chinese Style.
Step 1
To create delicious dumplings that will impress your family and friends, start by gathering a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
In this bowl, combine ground pork with minced dandelion greens, napa cabbage, bok choy, and minced green onions.
Step 3
Add in a tablespoon of minced ginger, three cloves of minced garlic, bamboo shoots, three tablespoons of soy sauce, a sprinkle of white pepper, kosher salt, a teaspoon of sugar, and four teaspoons of sesame oil.
Step 4
Mix everything together thoroughly, then cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for six to eight hours, or even overnight.
Step 5
This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making each bite a burst of deliciousness.
Step 6
Next, let’s prepare the dumpling wrappers.
Step 7
In a small bowl, beat an egg white with a tablespoon of water to create a simple egg wash.
Step 8
Take a wonton wrapper and place about a tablespoon of your flavorful pork mixture right in the center.
Step 9
Brush the edges of the wrapper with the egg wash to help seal it.
Step 10
Gently fold the wrapper over the filling, pressing the edges together firmly.
Step 11
For an extra secure seal, use a fork to crimp the edges.
Step 12
As you work, keep the remaining wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
Step 13
Now it’s time to cook those delightful dumplings! Heat two tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 14
Once the oil is hot, arrange the dumplings in the skillet with the seam side facing up.
Step 15
Let them cook for about 30 seconds to a minute until they develop a lovely golden-brown color.
Step 16
Carefully pour in half a cup of water and cover the skillet with a lid.
Step 17
Allow the dumplings to steam for seven to eight minutes, or until the water has evaporated and they are cooked through.
Step 18
Once the water is gone, flip the dumplings over and continue cooking for an additional three to five minutes until the bottoms are perfectly crispy and golden.
Step 19
While the dumplings are cooking, let’s whip up a tasty dipping sauce to complement your creation.
Step 20
In a bowl, mix together chili oil, hoisin sauce, half a cup of soy sauce, four teaspoons of sesame oil, a teaspoon of sugar, a splash of balsamic vinegar, a teaspoon of minced ginger, two tablespoons of chopped green onion, and two cloves of minced garlic.
Step 21
This sauce will add a delightful kick to your dumplings.
Step 22
Once everything is ready, serve your dumplings hot alongside the dipping sauce.
Step 23
Enjoy the fruits of your labor and savor each bite of these homemade delights!.
