Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 medium green cabbage, roughly chopped
salt
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1/2 cup chopped garlic chives (optional)
3 ounces peeled shrimp, deveined and chopped
1/2 pound ground pork
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 package dumpling wrappers
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon thinly sliced scallion white
1 pinch toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • The filling: Place the cabbage in a food processor, add 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pulse until finely chopped but not puréed. Wrap the chopped cabbage in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to remove juices, then transfer to a large bowl. Add ginger, garlic, scallions, and, if desired, garlic chives. Add the shrimp and pork and season with 1/4 cup soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt and pepper. Mix together by hand.
  • Taste the filling by poaching or frying a small amount, and adjust seasonings to taste. To prepare the dipping sauce, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, scallions, and toasted sesame seeds in a small bowl.
  • To wrap, place 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of a dumpling wrapper. Wet the wrapper's edges, then fold in half to form a taco-like shape. Make a pleat on the side facing you about 20 degrees from the apex of the half-circle and seal with your fingers to the back of the skin. Repeat on the other quarter, in mirror fashion, and seal the dumpling completely, trying to eliminate any air pockets. Repeat until all filling is used.
  • To pan fry, heat oil in a large, nonstick pan over high heat. Add the dumplings in one layer so that they do not overlap. Add water to come halfway up the dumplings, and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook until all water is evaporated and the bottoms are browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Alternatively, the dumplings can be steamed until cooked through, about 5 minutes in a steam basket.
  • Transfer the dumplings to a plate and serve with a dipping sauce.

LEMONGRASS PORK PATTIES WITH VIETNAMESE DIPPING SAUCE



Lemongrass Pork Patties With Vietnamese Dipping Sauce image

In Vietnam, little pork patties like this are often grilled over charcoal right on the street and diners sit and eat on (now iconic) little plastic stools. You can serve these patties simply wrapped in the lettuce leaves here, as a snack, or over vermicelli noodles, as a larger meal. What’s non-negotiable? Serve with plenty of herbs and the funky, salty, sour, sweet dipping sauce.

PORK, SAUERKRAUT AND DUMPLINGS



Pork, Sauerkraut and Dumplings image

Pork roast and kraut slow-cooked and served with dumplings and sauerkraut 'gravy.' This recipe was from my mother's very German family. She always served it with mashed potatoes, creamed peas, and applesauce. Sometimes she baked the roast and kraut separately. We always have this on New Year's Day. I usually double the recipe for the dumplings. My mother didn't make hers with beer, but I have added this over the years to taste.

1 (3 pound) pork shoulder roast, well-trimmed and trimmings reserved

½ cup applesauce
¼ cup brown sugar, or to taste
2 (12 fluid ounce) cans or bottles beer, divided
3 cups water
1 (14 ounce) can kraut juice
2 cups all-purpose baking mix (such as Bisquick®)
⅔ cup milk

Steps:

  • Place pork roast into the bottom of a slow cooker and cover with sauerkraut with juice, applesauce, brown sugar, and 1 can beer. Set cooker to High, cover, and cook 3 hours. Reduce heat to Low and cook 4 more hours.
  • About 1 1/2 hours before serving time, heat water with reserved pork trimmings in a large saucepan over low heat and simmer to make broth, about 45 minutes. Strain broth, discard trimmings, and pour remaining can of beer and kraut juice into the simmering broth. Bring the broth to a boil.
