Asian Steamed Dumpling Filling image

This a really terrific filling for those Asian steamed dumplings. The recipe was given to me by a good friend who is a chef at Benihana. You can use ground pork, ground shrimp, or ground turkey with great success. I have posted the recipe using ground pork because that is the typical mixture most people are accustomed to... but shrimp is a great indulgence and ground turkey is what I usually use and I love it.

Time 34m

Yield 8 big egg roll dumplings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb fresh ground pork
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons carrots, grated
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh ginger (grated with a ginger grater or lemon zester)
2 tablespoons oyster sauce or 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 (8 ounce) package wonton wrappers (* see the note at bottom of recipe)
1/2 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon chili paste, to taste (or more, I like Sambal Oelek)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon cilantro leaf (fresh chopped very fine like an Iron Chef!)

Steps:

  • Whisk all ingredients for the dipping sauce well and set aside.
  • Mix all of the meat mixture ingredients together and let it marinade for an hour or so for best flavor.
  • Place a scant tablespoon of filling in the center of a wrapper and fold and tuck. You know how it is done or look up a video tutorial on Youtube.( I really suck at folding those little time-consuming dumplings so for years I have just bought egg roll wrappers and make them like that) They aren't as pretty as the little cute parcels but it is a huge time saver for me.
  • Steam them for 9 minutes. If you have a Chinese steamer- fine. (I don't) You can use a vegetable steamer in a large sauce pan or I use my electric wok with the steamer attachment. Spray the steamer rack with Pam or vegetable and you will have no problem with them sticking.
  • The serving size is subjective depending on whether you use little wonton wrappers or egg roll wrappers so don't pay any attention to that -- but I had to enter something. The recipe will feed four however you decide to make them unless you are a glutton like me and then the serving size is just for one with a little bit left over for a snack the next day :-).

  • Bon Apetit in Japanese!

This recipe is terrible! The dumplings fell apart when I tried to cook them. I will never try this recipe again.

These dumplings were a waste of time and money. They were bland and tasteless.

I tried making these dumplings, but the wrappers were too thick and the filling was too dry. I don't recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dumplings turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These dumplings were a bit bland for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I've tried many steamed dumpling recipes, but this one is by far the best. The dumplings are light and fluffy, with a perfectly savory filling.

These are the best dumplings I've ever had. The filling is so flavorful and the wrappers are cooked to perfection.

I love these dumplings! They're so easy to make and they always come out perfectly. I usually serve them with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil.

These dumplings were a hit at my last party! The filling was so flavorful and juicy, and the wrappers were perfectly cooked. I will definitely be making these again.
