STEAMED PORK AND MUSHROOM "SIU MAI" DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• For the filling: In a large bowl, combine the pork, ginger, rice wine, soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, mushrooms and scallions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix well.
• For the dumplings: Take 1 wonton wrapper and place 1 heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center. Then gather up the sides of the wonton wrapper and mold around the filling into a ball shape, leaving the center exposed. Dip your finger in some water and run it around the top of the wonton wrapper. Fold the excess wrapper down and pinch the wonton wrapper around the filling firmly to prevent it from opening up and separating from the filling when cooked. Top each dumpling with a goji berry.
• Oil the bottom of a bamboo steamer and/or line it with a piece of perforated parchment paper. Place the dumplings in the steamer, cover with a lid and place over a pan or wok of boiling water (making sure the water does not touch the bottom of the steamer). Steam the dumplings until cooked, 7 to 8 minutes.
• For the dipping sauce: Meanwhile, combine the chili and soy sauces in a bowl. Serve with the dumplings.

UKRAINIAN MUSHROOM AND ONION DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Make filling: place dried mushrooms in a small bowl and add 1/4 cup boiling water. Let soften, about 10 minutes. Strain, reserving liquid and mushrooms separately.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until golden but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add button mushrooms and cook, stirring, until mushrooms have released their liquid, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drain liquor. In a food processor, combine both kinds of mushrooms. Spoon in porcini liquid, leaving behind any silt in bottom of bowl. Pulse together until finely ground but not pasty: about 3 or 4 pulses. Add salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
• Make dough: In a small bowl, combine egg yolk, oil and 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water and whisk 1 minute. Place flour in a large bowl and make a well in center. Add a third of the egg mixture and lightly mix in with fingers or a fork. Repeat 2 more times. Using hands, fold dough together until soft: if crumbly, gently work in more water; if sticky, add flour. Transfer to a lightly floured board and knead 3 minutes. Form into a ball, transfer to a bowl and refrigerate 45 minutes.
• Lightly flour a work surface and a pan or board for the finished dumplings. Divide dough into 3 sections. Using a well-floured rolling pin, roll each section out until very thin and in a rough rectangle. Use tip of a sharp knife to cut dough into 1 1/2-inch squares.
• Drain any excess liquid from filling. Place 1/2 teaspoon filling in center of each square. Fold squares in half to form triangles, sealing filling inside. (If dough is becoming dry, lightly moisten fingertips to seal.) Pinch the 2 opposing corners together to seal tightly. Place on floured surface: do not stack. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
• In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook dumplings until they float, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and serve in hot borscht, or just with sour cream.

BRUSSELS SPROUT AND MUSHROOM RAGOUT WITH HERB DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Mushroom stock Cover dried mushrooms with hot water and set aside. Heat oil in a saucepan over high heat. Add onion, carrot, garlic and fresh mushrooms. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until well browned (about 10 minutes). Reduce heat to medium; stir in tomato paste, marjoram and wine; sprinkle with flour. Once wine has reduced to a syrupy consistency, after about 3 minutes, add the porcini and its soaking water, ½ tsp salt and some pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes, then strain. Ragout As mushroom stock simmers, start ragout. Heat oil in a wide, nonstick skillet. Add onions and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until aromatic and nicely colored (about 12 minutes). Raise heat to high and add mushrooms, herbs and garlic to pan. Squeeze lemon juice over mushrooms and sauté until mushrooms are browned, 5-7 minutes, reduce heat to low. As mushrooms cook, bring a pot of water to a boil for the Brussels sprouts. Add salt, then Brussels sprouts and boil until nearly tender, about 4-6 minutes. Drain. Add to pan of onions and mushrooms; also add mushroom stock. At this point, you can turn off the heat until the dumplings are ready. To make dumplings: Mix flour with baking powder and salt. Pour in milk, herbs, and egg. Stir quickly with a fork. Add spoonfuls of dumpling batter to the ragout, making 12 small dumplings in all. Cover pan with tented foil, bring everything to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes
