Chinese Dandelion Dumplings image

I submitted these for the 2009 Dandelion Cook-off at Breitenbach Winery Dandelion Festival. These were a crowd favorite, especially the Asian dipping sauce. If you like dandelion greens, you'll love these. Formed dumplings can be frozen up to 2 months.

Time 8h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 pounds ground pork
2 cups minced dandelion greens
3 cups minced napa cabbage
½ cup minced bok choy leaves
4 green onions, white and light green parts only, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoots, drained and minced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
4 teaspoons sesame oil
1 egg whites
1 tablespoon water
100 wonton wrappers
½ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons chili oil, or to taste
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
½ cup soy sauce
4 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon white sugar
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Mix pork, dandelion greens, napa cabbage, bok choy, 4 minced green onions, 1 tablespoon of ginger, 3 cloves of garlic, bamboo shoots, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, white pepper, salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 4 teaspoons of sesame oil. Chill in the refrigerator 6 to 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Beat the egg white with the water in a small bowl and set aside. Place 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture into a wonton wrapper, working one at at time. Cover additional wrappers with a moist towel to prevent drying. Brush the edges of the wrapper with the egg white mixture. Fold the wrapper and seal the edges with a moistened fork.
  • Spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Heat 2 tablespoons for vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, place the dumplings into the skillet, seam side up. Cook until the dumplings brown slightly, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour 1/2 cup of water into the skillet and cover. Gently steam the dumplings until the oil and water begin to sizzle, 7 to 8 minutes. Once the water is cooked off, flip the dumplings and continue cooking until the bottom begin to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat in batches with the remaining dumplings, oil, and water. Serve with dipping sauce.
  • To make dipping sauce: Combine chili oil, hoisin sauce, 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 4 teaspoons of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of sugar, balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of ginger, 2 tablespoons of green onion, and 2 cloves of garlic in a bowl.

These dumplings were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if they had more seasoning.

These dumplings were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if they had less salt.

These dumplings were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if they had been pan-fried instead of deep-fried.
