Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds asparagus, pencil-size or medium
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt
1/2 teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorns, or use black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder
1 teaspoon grated garlic
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 tablespoon palm sugar or dark brown sugar
1 to 2 bird's-eye chiles, thinly sliced, or use serrano or Fresno chiles
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 cup toasted walnut halves
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
3 green onions, slivered
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

Snap off and discard bottoms of asparagus, then cut into 2-inch pieces. (Halve thicker pieces lengthwise first.)
Set a wok over high heat and add vegetable oil. When oil is hot, add asparagus and season lightly with salt. Stir-fry for a minute or so, then add Sichuan pepper, five-spice powder, garlic, ginger, sugar, chiles, soy sauce and walnuts. Continue cooking over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes, tossing to coat well, until asparagus is cooked but still firm and bright green. (It will continue to cook a bit off the heat.)
Transfer asparagus to a serving platter and drizzle with sesame oil. Sprinkle green onions over the top and garnish with cilantro sprigs.

Ingredients

Dipping sauce
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 green onion, very thinly sliced
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons oriental sesame oil
Dumplings
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, peeled
12 ounces fresh asparagus, trimmed, quartered crosswise
1 8-ounce can whole water chestnuts, drained
3 green onions, quartered
1 teaspoon oriental sesame oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
All purpose flour
36 wonton wrappers
Romaine lettuce leaves

Steps:

For dipping sauce:
Stir all ingredients in small bowl to blend.
For dumplings:
Finely mince ginger and garlic in food processor. Add asparagus and next 5 ingredients; using on/off turns, process until asparagus is finely chopped but not pureed.
Sprinkle baking sheet with flour. Place 1 wonton wrapper on work surface. Spoon 2 teaspoons asparagus mixture into center. Moisten edges of wrapper with water; gather corners together over filling. Twist edges of wrapper together, enclosing filling completely. Place dumpling on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. (Sauce and dumplings can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover separately and chill.)
Place steamer rack in large pot. Pour enough water into pot to reach depth of 1/2 inch. Line steamer rack with lettuce leaves. Bring water to simmer. Working in batches, arrange dumplings side by side (but not touching) on rack. Cover and steam 15 minutes.
Serve dumplings with dipping sauce.

Tips:

If you want a smoother texture, steam the asparagus slightly before cutting it into spears.
Feel free to use any type of wonton wrapper that you like, including regular, gluten-free, or wonton wrappers made with whole wheat flour.
You can store the assembled wontons in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 1 hour, or until the wontons are frozen solid. Transfer the frozen wontons to a resealable freezer bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To cook the wontons from frozen, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the frozen wontons and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Drain the wontons and serve immediately.
If you are using fresh asparagus, wrap the asparagus spears in a damp paper towel and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
To make the wontons ahead of time, assemble the wontons and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover the wontons with plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking.
