Chinese Dumplings Recipe

	Beautifulcataya / All my dishes 2 years, 5 months ago My Chinese dumplings are nontraditional in that they use ground turkey instead of beef, pork, or shrimp. However, they have less fat and taste great! Prep:90m Cook:15m Servings:6	Beautifulca

Ingredients

1 lb lean ground turkey

1 Tbsp green onions, chopped

1 Tbsp ginger, minced

2 Tbsp soy sauce

2 Tbsp sesame oil

2 Tbsp rice wine

1 Tbsp canola oil

1 lb vegetable (e.g., bok-choi or baby bok-choi)

1/2 tsp salt

Dumpling skins

Dipping sauce (mix to taste):

Soy sauce

Vinegar

Sesame oil or hot pepper oil

Minced garlic

Directions

Prepare filling: Mix first set of ingredients (including ground turkey) in a bowl. Next, finely chop the vegetable, put it in another bowl, add salt, mix, and squeeze to remove water. Add squeezed vegetable to meat mixture and mix.

Fold dumplings: Place about 1 Tbsp of meat and vegetable mixture in dumpling skin and fold. (Traditional folding is difficult to describe. If you don't know how, you can place mixture in middle of dumpling skin, brush edges of skin with water, fold lengthwise, and then squeeze edges. The important thing is that the skins don't come open when you cook them!)

Cook dumplings: Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add up to 20 dumplings at a time. Wait for water to return to a boil and dumplings to float to surface. Add 1 cup cold water. Wait for water to return to a boil again (dumplings should float to surface). Add another cup of cold water. Wait for water to return to a boil again (dumplings should float to surface again). Remove dumplings from boiling water and serve.

Love it. I'm really going to enjoy these. I eat a lot of the cheap frozen Chinese dumplings from one of the local Asian grocery stores - 3 packs of 30-50 for $10. Unfortunately, the filling itself feels like it could be made of 50 or 60 percent grated cardboard; they taste great, but I'm pretty sure they're very bad for me.

Anyway, these will make a great replacement, and they won't be a whole lot more expensive if I make them in a large enough batch.
