Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 whole black peppercorns
2 cloves garlic, peeled
salt to taste
2 cilantro stems, chopped
5 ounces ground pork
5 ounces shrimp, minced
5 water chestnuts, minced
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon tapioca starch
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
½ teaspoon salt
25 wonton wrappers, or as needed
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 scallions, sliced into thin rings
1 bird's eye chile, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat; add minced garlic. Slowly cook garlic until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
  • Crush peppercorns using a mortar and pestle until powdery. Add peeled garlic and a pinch of salt; crush into a paste. Mix cilantro stems into the paste.
  • Mix paste, pork, shrimp, water chestnuts, dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon white sugar, fish sauce, tapioca starch, light soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Spoon 1 to 2 teaspoons pork-shrimp mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling, sealing the edges together and creating a purse-like pouch.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add wontons, cover, and steam until the filling is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Whisk rice vinegar, light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon white sugar, scallions, and bird's eye chile together in a bowl until dipping sauce is well mixed.
  • Serve Khanom Jeeb with a drizzle of garlic oil and dipping sauce on the side.

These dumplings are a great way to use up leftover pork and shrimp. They're also a fun and easy appetizer to make for parties.

Overall, I thought the dumplings were pretty good. They were easy to make and they tasted okay. I would probably make them again, but I might try a different recipe.

The recipe was a bit confusing and the dumplings didn't turn out as expected. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The dumplings were a bit too oily for my liking. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

The dumplings were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

The recipe was easy to follow and the dumplings turned out great! I used a steamer basket to cook them and they were done in no time. I served them with a sweet and sour sauce and they were delicious.

These dumplings were so easy to make and they tasted amazing! I used wonton wrappers and they worked perfectly. I also added some chopped green onions and ginger to the filling for extra flavor.

Khanom Jeeb were a big hit at my dinner party last night - everyone loved them! I used a mix of pork and shrimp and they were so juicy and flavorful. I also added some chopped water chestnuts for a little extra crunch.
