IChinese dumplings (Jiaozi) are very popular during the Chinese New
Year season
Ingredients:
* Jiaozi dough:
* 3 cups all-purpose flour
* up to 1 1/4 cups cold water
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* Filling:
* 1 cup ground pork or beef
* 1 TB soy sauce
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 TB Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper, or to taste
* 3 TB sesame oil
* 1/2 green onion, finely minced
* 1 1/2 cups finely shredded Napa cabbage
* 4 tablespoons shredded bamboo shoots
* 2 slices fresh ginger, finely minced
* 1 clove garlic, peeled and finely minced
Preparation:
Stir the salt into the flour. Slowly stir in the cold water, adding
as
much as is necessary to form a smooth dough. Don't add more water
than
is ncessary. Knead the dough into a smooth ball. Cover the dough and
let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling ingredients. Add the
soy sauce, salt, rice wine and white pepper to the meat, stirring in
only one direction. Add the remaining ingredients, stirring in the
same direction, and mix well.
To make the dumpling dough: knead the dough until it forms a smooth
ball. Divide the dough into 60 pieces. Roll each piece out into a
circle about 3-inches in diameter.
Place a small portion (about 1 level tablespoon) of the filling into
the middle of each wrapper. Wet the edges of the dumpling with water.
Fold the dough over the filling into a half moon shape and pinch the
edges to seal. Continue with the remainder of the dumplings.
To cook, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add half the
dumplings,
giving them a gentle stir so they don't stick together. Bring the
water to a boil, and add 1/2 cup of cold water. Cover and repeat.
When
the dumplings come to a boil for a third time, they are ready. Drain
and remove. If desired, they can be pan-fried at this point.
