    Chinese Dumplings


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    Two cups shredded veggies. Mixture of: mostly cabbage or bok choy, with carrots, mushrooms, onion, whatever to taste. Pre-packaged coleslaw mix works surprisingly well.

    soy sauce
    water
    vinegar (white or rice)
    coupla dozen wonton/dumpling skins ( I think these are just flour and water)
    garlic (fresh, chopped fine, or powdered)
    ginger (fresh, chopped fine, or powdered)
    small bowl with water for dipping
    optional: Tbsp Hunan chili paste, Tbsp plum sauce
    or maybe tsp black bean sauce, tsp five spice powder or other flavoring (use *one*)

    Recipe



    Make the dipping sauce first and let it sit. Mix equal parts soy sauce and vinegar, about 1/8 cup per person. Mix equal parts garlic and ginger, about a clove's worth per person.

    Stir-fry vegetable mix in a small bit of water and soy sauce. If you have it, add your favorite optional flavoring. I like chili paste. Stir until translucent. Mix will taste sorta raw.

    To make the dumplings, scoop about 1.5 teaspoons onto a dumpling skin (experiment until you find the right amount.) FIll with your veggoes and crunch the dumpling into a nice shape and dip the end into the small bowl to seal it.

    Dumplings may be boiled for 3-5 minutes or steamed 5-10. They are done when they crinkle up and turn translucent.

    Dip dumplings in sauce.
