Pan Fried Chinese Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• Put the egg, pork, chives, cabbage, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, cornstarch, sugar and white pepper in a large bowl. Mix well with your hands or a rubber spatula until well combined.
• Fill a small bowl with cold water. Set a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface (keep the rest covered with a damp paper towel so they don't dry out). Scoop two teaspoons of the filling into the center of the wrapper. Dab a finger into the water and brush along the edges of the wrapper, about 1/4 inch of the rim. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to create a half-moon. Gather a corner of the dumpling and pinch to form a seal. Using your index finger as a guide, create four to five equally-spaced pleats until you reach the other corner of the wrapper. Press down to seal that other corner. If the wrapper isn't sealing, add a small dab of water to help it seal. Transfer to a baking sheet and cover with a damp paper towel while you form the remaining dumplings.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the dumplings in a single layer. Add 1/3 cup water and reduce the heat to medium-low. (If using a medium skillet, add 1/4 cup water.) Cover with a lid (preferably glass) and cook until the wrappers become slightly opaque, 4 to 5 minutes. Uncover and cook until most of the liquid evaporates, then cook over medium heat until the bottoms are crisp and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Loosen the dumplings from the skillet with a spatula and transfer to a serving plate. Repeat with the remaining dumplings, adding 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in between batches.
• Drizzle chile crisp over the pan-fried dumplings and serve with a side of Chinese black vinegar, if desired. Enjoy while warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Blend first 4 ingredients in a food processor. Add vegetables. Using on/off turns, pulse until vegetables are just minced. Drain excess liquid from vegetable mixture. Arrange 12 wonton wrappers on work surface. Lightly brush edges of wrappers with water. Spoon 1 tablespoon vegetable mixture into center of each wrapper. Top with remaining wonton wrappers, pressing to enclose filling completely. Using ravioli cutter or sharp knife, cut edges of wontons. Heat canola oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, fry dumplings until just golden, about 1 minute per side. Bake until dumplings are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer dumplings to serving tray. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve with dipping sauce.
