Dumplings & Noodle Soup

I made a super easy dumpling filling that you can use for wontons in soup or in potstickers, pan fried until crisp and chewy. If you’re not following me on Instagram @brigittecooks, come on over for extra recipe tips. We filmed from my home kitchen today, which was a new experience for me. Thank you so much for all the support, you guys have been amazing.

Dumplings and Dipping Sauce

for noodle soup or potstickers
Course Appetizer
Cuisine Asian, Chinese

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 egg
  • 2 green onion whites, finely minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, finely minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 12-14 oz package wonton wrappers

Dipping Sauce

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp chili sauce, sriracha, or hot sauce if desired

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine the pork, egg, green onion whites, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. If desired, cook a tiny portion of this (about a tablespoon) in a saute pan to check the seasoning. If needed, add additional soy sauce or salt.
  • Using a small scoop, place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. The amount of filling will depend on your wrapper. Don’t overfill, but make sure you have a nice filling to wrapping ratio. Get a small bowl of water and using your finger or a pastry brush, dampen 2 edges of the wrapper. Fold in half to form a triangle and seal, then fold in half again to form a cute little dumpling. Repeat with remaining pork. Any leftover filling can be cooked as meatballs or sautéed and crumbled in a pan for a lovely lettuce wrap filling or topping for a rice bowl.
  • For wontons, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add wontons and simmer gently, until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes. They should float when done.
  • To make potstickers, heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add a tsp of oil and add as many potstickers that will fit in a single layer. Cook over medium heat until nicely browned and crisp on the bottom, about 3-5 minutes. Add about 2 tbsp water to the pan (it will sizzle) and cover with a lid. Allow to steam cook for an additional 5 minutes or so. Uncover and cook until any additional water evaporates. Enjoy just as they are or with Dipping Sauce, below.
  • For Dipping Sauce, combine everything in a bowl and stir to dissolve the sugar. Enjoy!
