- Preparation: 45 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (401 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Dairy-free, High protein
- Contains: gluten, pork, sesame, soy, sulphite
Ingredients
- 100 g Flour, all-purpose
- 48 g Water
- 1 g Salt
- 100 g Pork, ground, raw
- 100 g Napa cabbage, raw
- 15 g Scallions, raw
- 5 g Ginger, fresh
- 13 g Soy sauce
- 6 g Sesame oil
- 1 g White pepper
- 10 g Vinegar, balsamic
- 2 g Chilies, dried red
Method
- Mix the flour with the water and salt into a firm dough; knead for 5 minutes until smooth, then cover and rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Finely chop the napa cabbage, salt it lightly, let sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- Mix the ground pork with the squeezed cabbage, scallion, ginger, half the soy sauce and half the sesame oil until well combined and slightly sticky.
- Roll the rested dough into a long log, cut into small pieces, and roll each into a thin round wrapper; place a spoonful of filling in the centre, fold over, and pleat the edge to seal.
- Boil the dumplings in plenty of water for 6-8 minutes, until they float and the filling is cooked through, adding a splash of cold water once or twice to keep the boil gentle.
- Mix the remaining soy sauce and sesame oil with the vinegar and dried chilies for a dipping sauce, and serve alongside the hot dumplings. Makes about 12 dumplings (one serving); the dough is easy to double if you want extra to freeze.
