Dumplings
Shared by Anna Marshall
Ingredients:
Dumplings skins (3-4 bags from Asian Grocery Store; about 50 dumpling wrappers in one bag)
1 regular cabbage or 2 small cabbages, chopped thin using the food processor
1.5-2 lbs. ground turkey
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. ginger and garlic paste
1 tbsp. chilly sauce
1 tsp. paprika
1 tbsp. salt
1 tbsp. black pepper
1tbsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. sugar
1 small bowl of chopped scallions (I did not have scallions last time, so I used one tbsp. chopped basil and 1tsp. chopped cilantra instead)
Steps:
- Make Ingredients:
Mix all the ground turkey with vegetable oil, soy sauce, ginger and garlic paste, chilly sauce, paprika and set aside
Chop the cabbage, add salt, black pepper, sugar and sesame oil
Mix turkey with cabbage
Spread chopped scallions and mix again
- Wrap Dumplings:
Dip your finger in the water
Moisture the edge of the dumpling wrapper
Add Stuffings
Wrap them with pleats and press hard to seal
- Cook Dumplings (Two different ways):
1) Boil water and then put dumplings in the water. When the water boils again, add half a bowl of cold water and wait for the water to boil, and add another half a bowl of cold water to cook. One more boiling and one more adding cold water, the dumplings should be cooked through.
2) Spray a tablespoon of oil on a frying pan and when oil is hot, add dumplings in the pan. Cook about 1-minute until the bottoms are brown. Add 1 small cup of water into the pan, cover, and reduce heat to medium. When the water is dried up in around 5-7 minutes, the dumplings are cooked through.
