My Pork Soup Dumpling

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Kg pork belly
  • 1 inch ginger thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic chop
  • 1 stem lemongrass (bruised )
  • wonton wraps
  • 250 gms mixed and minced pork
  • 100 gms chopped onion
  • salt and pepper

Instructions:

Put the pork belly , ginger ,garlic, lemongrass and salt cook them in a litre of water at high flame and lower the flame, let it simmer for 30 minutes (you can use pressure cooker also).

You will see white froth coming up, take them out with a spoon.

Strain out the soup and put in the freezer overnight. (at least 4 hours is recommended)

Pour it in a flat container  so that you can cut it into cubes or you can use a small spoon to scoop it out.

Chop the onions and mixed pork into bite size pieces.

Put them into the food processor along with salt and pepper.

Mince them together

Take a wonton wrap and put one tablespoon of minced meat and a teaspoon of soup gelatin.

You can give any shape you want to the dumplings. I find it much easier to spiral them on top.

Steam the dumplings for 10-12 minutes in a steamer. Your dumpling is ready now , i love to serve them along with the fried chilli sauce .

Chicken napa cabbage dumplings

Ingredients

  • 8 leaves of Napa cabbage
  • 150 gms of minced chicken
  • 2 tablespoon of chopped spring onion
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon grass
  • 1 tablespoon of soya sauce
  • salt and pepper

Instructions:

Let’s do something super healthy today. Dumplings are always healthy and this one does one step further with the napa cabbage.

Blanch the napa leaves and keep it aside.

Mix all the ingredient except the napa cabbage. Mix it well.

Take one leaf and put 2 tablespoon of minced chicken inside each napa leaves. Roll them in the manner shown below. I deliberately added this picture so that you understand the direction to roll.

Complete the wrapping as shown below and put them in a steamer. Make sure the closed side of the leaf is placed downward while steaming. This ensures that your dumplings is wrapped tightly, firm and looks really nice.

Your napa cabbage dumpling is ready to go. This goes great with chilli sauce which i have shared in my other post.

I hope you will love this napa cabbage dumpling. As always , do let me know how it went inside your kitchen 🙂
