Most definitely late, but I did make these over the weekend. These are pork and wombok dumplings. The worst part of these is that they take so much time to prepare, but only 5 seconds to eat. However, I don’t make these often, and they’re worth it. I make extras and freeze them for quick (lazy) meals.
Happy belated Lunar New Year to those who celebrate!
What’s your favourite dipping sauce?? When I don’t have any sichuan chili oil left, I just use a bit of light soy sauce, and either sesame oil or sichuan chili oil. About 1:2 ratio.
I’d go with finely chopped mushrooms as a base. A meaty type. Then try a few versions with your preferred vegetables. Spinach is too delicate. Cabbage should go well. Leeks.
Edit: You might also try using finely chopped fried tofu, if you haven’t.
Ohh, fried tofu would definitely add to the texture! Maybe better for a fried dumpling rather than boiled. I reckon it might soften up and go mushy if not fried on to the harder side.
