@jcx8673 the point of buying high-quality meat is that we really try to respect the ingredients we use. our show is all about showing how you can use local, seasonal, and sustainably raised food even on a tight budget. no dish is “ordinary”; every dish deserves respect. respecting your food is respecting yourself. We based our recipe on the restaurants in Flushing, but not our approach! And you’re right, a little sesame oil in the dumplings would have been great.
Meat, I Absolutely love it fried!! My mom makes the best!! We are chinese and she started making them when she was 11. Omg you should taste it sometime!!!!
Why bother buying top ground sirloin pork on just ordinary dumplings? The pork dumplings in Flushing probably has cheap (yet delicious) lean ground pork. And I would add two tbsps of sesame oil and an egg to the recipe.
i tryed something close to this but it was pot stickers and was made with hotwater dough tho it calls to cook them in light oil and add 1/2 cup water to it to steam it
the problem i had with this was they fell apart any idea’s for this would be helpful
We just made these as a dry run for my daughter’s CampFire group meeting next week. They are doing a session on heritage, countries, and also with a tie to Lunar New Year. So, we had fun making these. A few things – we would go less on the ginger, not something we use much of; and more on the garlic. We also would double the dough recipie. We added hard boiled egg pieces to some and that was a good addition. THANK YOU for the recipie and inspiration. We’ll see how we do next weekend!
I think the original dumpling is cook by the “Steam” . I can’t explain in English but Chinese don’t put the whole thing in the
water. They use special pot that have filter and let steam cook the dumpling
haha, at least now i hav something to compare to when my mom says my dumplings look horrid.
the thing is, you should add sesame oil in the filling when u mix it, it makes a difference! the skin of the dumpling is a bit thick though, its best when its about 2mm thick
I made these for dinner last night, my three boys loved them! We boiled them then threw them in a skillet for a few minutes on each side so there was a little crunch to them, kinda like pot stickers I guess. Ours looked about the same but tasted great. What a simple recipe, I love it!
you can deep fry them, and you can sear and steam them. When i cook mine, i use a frying pan and sear the sides first, then i add a bit of water to steam them. I put a lid on it until all the water has evaporated then i sear them again to make sure they are crunchy little delights. Hope that helps. good luck.
pan fried xiao long bao in shanghai is just amazing its crispy and super juicy and when you bite into it you have to be careful not to spray the juice .
