Steps:
- Stock your pantry
- Look for the ingredients and supplies featured here at an Asian market or online at adrianascaravan.com: Chinese-style cured smoked ham (or use Smithfield ham), dried shiitake mushrooms, Shaoxing (also spelled Shao Hsing) wine, black vinegar, dumpling wrappers (don't use wonton wrappers; they are too thin), and bamboo steamer sets.
- Make the soup
- Combine 10 cups water and all remaining soup ingredients except gelatin in large pot. Bring to boil, spooning off any foam that rises to surface. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until chicken pieces are very soft and beginning to fall apart, adding more water by cupfuls if necessary to keep chicken submerged, about 2 hours 30 minutes.
- Strain and chill
- Strain soup; discard solids. Return broth to same pot. Boil until reduced to 2 cups, about 35 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour 3 tablespoons water into small bowl; sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand until gelatin softens. Add to hot broth; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Transfer to 13x9x2-inch glass dish. Cover; refrigerate aspic overnight.
- Make the sauce
- Mix 1 cup black vinegar, 6 tablespoons soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons fresh ginger strips in small bowl. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.
- Make the filling
- Combine all filling ingredients in large bowl and mix with fork just until blended. Cut aspic into 1/3-inch cubes. Add aspic to pork mixture; stir gently with wooden spoon just until incorporated. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
- Assemble the dumplings
- Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Place 1 dumpling wrapper on work surface. Spoon 1 very generous teaspoon filling onto center of wrapper, including at least 2 or 3 aspic cubes.
- Pleat the wrapper
- Lightly brush edges of dumpling wrapper with water. Bring 1 corner of wrapper up around filling, then pleat remaining edges of wrapper at regular intervals all around filling until filling is enclosed and wrapper forms bundle-like shape with small opening at top.
- Twist the top
- Gather top edges of wrapper together and twist at top to enclose filling. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. DO AHEAD Can be refrigerated, covered, for 1 day, or frozen in single layer in covered containers for 2 weeks.
- Prepare the steamer
- Line each layer of bamboo steamer basket with cabbage leaves; place over wok filled with enough water to reach just below bottom of bamboo steamer basket. (Or line metal steamer rack with cabbage leaves and set over water in large pot.) Place dumplings atop cabbage, spacing apart.
- Steam the dumplings
- Bring water to boil. Cover; steam until cooked through, adding more water to wok if evaporating too quickly, about 12 minutes for fresh dumplings and 15 minutes for frozen. Serve dumplings immediately, passing sauce alongside for dipping.

SHANGHAI SOUP DUMPLINGS
Steps:
- To prepare the soup, combine the stock, ham, scallion, and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, for about 8 minutes, or until the stock has reduced by half and you have a generous 2/3 cup. Strain the stock, discarding the solids, and set aside to cool for 15 minutes. Return the stock to the saucepan and sprinkle in the agar-agar or gelatin; there is no need to soften the gelatin in the stock beforehand. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring until the agar-agar is dissolved. After the stock comes to a boil, turn off the heat. Pour it into an 8 by 8-inch baking pan or a shallow bowl to make a thin layer that will cool quickly and be easy to cut up. Refrigerate for 20 to 40 minutes, until the soup is completely cooled and hardened. Quarter it and then peel from the pan. Finely chop and set aside. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate if you are preparing the soup in advance.
- Make the dough as you would for the Basic Dumpling Dough (page 22). Combine the two flours in the food processor or a bowl. Measure out the just-boiled water and add the oil. With the machine running, add the water and oil through the feed tube, or stir it in by hand, until you have a soft , warm dough. Add additional water by the 1/2 teaspoon, if needed. Gather the dough into a ball and transfer to a very lightly floured work surface. Knead processed dough for about 2 minutes and handmade dough for about 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and a tad elastic. Press your finger into the dough and it should bounce back fairly fast, but with a shallow indentation remaining. Place in a zip-top plastic bag and seal well, expelling excess air as you seal the bag. Let rest at room temperature for 1 hour before using. (The dough can be refrigerated overnight and returned to room temperature before proceeding.)
- To make the filling, thinly slice 1/2 inch of ginger and put it into an electric mini-chopper. Add the scallion, salt, white pepper, sugar, soy sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil. Process until creamy and fragrant. Transfer to a bowl, add the pork, and use a spatula to combine. Add the gelled stock and continue mixing until well blended and firm. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes to develop the flavors. Makes about 1 2/3 cups. (Unlike other fillings, this one can break down if it sits overnight. If you prepared the gelled soup a day ahead, combine it with the meat the day you make the dumplings.)
- To make the dipping sauce, cut the remaining 1 1/2-inch piece of ginger into fine shreds. Divide the ginger and vinegar between two communal bowls. Taste, and if the vinegar is too tart, add a bit of water. Set aside.
- To make the wrappers, remove the dough from the bag, turning the bag inside out if necessary; the dough will be sticky. On a very lightly floured surface, gently shape the dough into a ball. Cut it in half and replace one of the halves in the plastic bag, sealing well. Roll the other half into a 10 to 12-inch log. Cut into 16 pieces and then roll them into balls, dusting them with flour afterward to prevent sticking. Work on 8 dough balls at a time, keeping the others covered by a dry kitchen towel or inverted bowl to prevent drying. Shape each ball into a circle 2 1/2 inches in diameter, with a 1-inch diameter "belly" in the center; this helps to prevent the soup from leaking out and to keep a consistent thickness throughout. The finished outer rim should be thin enough for you to see the shadow of your fingers when you hold up the wrapper. (For guidance on shaping and rolling, see pages 24 to 25.)
- Before assembling the dumplings, line steamer trays and/or a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. (If you are making the dumplings in advance, or freezing them, lightly dust the parchment paper with flour to avoid sticking.) Hold a wrapper in a slightly cupped hand. Scoop up about 2 1/2 teaspoons of filling with a bamboo dumpling spatula, dinner knife, or fork and position it in the center of the wrapper, pressing and shaping it into a mound and keeping about 1/2 to 3/4 inch of wrapper clear on all sides. This will seem like a lot of filling. Use the thumb of the hand cradling the dumpling to push down the filling and keep it in place while the fingers of the other hand pull up the dough edge and pleat and pinch the rim together to form a closed satchel (see page 52), the only shape for these dumplings. Make sure to pinch and twist the dough at the end to completely close. The finished dumpling will look very pregnant. If you are steaming right away, place each finished dumpling in a steamer tray, sealed side up, spacing them 3/4 inch apart, and 1 inch away from the edge if you are using a metal steamer. If you are unable to steam all the dumplings at once, or if you are going to steam them later, place the waiting ones on the prepared baking sheet with a good 1/2 inch between them. Loosely cover the finished dumplings with a dry kitchen towel or plastic wrap as you form and fill wrappers from the remaining dough.
- While these dumplings can be prepared in advance and frozen like the other dumplings in this chapter, they are at their very best when steamed as soon as they are made. Freeze them on the baking sheet until hard (about 1 hour), transfer them to a zip-top plastic bag, pressing out excess air before sealing, and keep them frozen for up to 1 month; partially thaw, using your finger to smooth over any cracks that may have formed during freezing, before steaming.
- To cook the dumplings, steam them over boiling water (see steaming guidelines on page 17) for 6 to 8 minutes. The dumplings should have puffed up and become somewhat translucent. Remove each tray and place it atop a serving plate.
- Serve the dumplings immediately with the sauce. To eat, pick up a dumpling with chopsticks and place it in a soup spoon; think of the spoon as a tiny bowl. Either bite or poke a small hole at the top with a chopstick. Carefully slurp out the hot soup inside or pour it into the spoon and sip it from there. Finish off the dumpling by eating it straight or dunking it first in the dipping sauce; to be more graceful, spoon a bit of sauce onto the dumpling or into the hole.

- Add the pork skin and bones to a thick-bottomed medium pot with just enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, and boil for 1 minute. Turn off the heat, and rinse the pork skin and bones under running water to clean them. Clean the pot as well.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, Shaoxing wine, salt, sesame oil, sugar, water, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, ground white-pepper, grated ginger, and minced scallions. Whip in one direction for 5 minutes until it has the texture of a thick paste.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, add the cake flour, all purpose flour, salt, and instant yeast. Attach the dough hook, and turn the mixer on to the lowest setting. Slowly stream in the water. Knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth. The dough should be soft but hold its shape.
- These buns will go straight into the pan as you assemble them, so prepare the pan first by lightly oiling it with a neutral flavored cooking oil. A wide non-stick pan works best. A cast-iron pan also works, but can be more challenging when it comes to preventing the buns from sticking. You’ll need to pre-heat it until it’s just smoking, cover it with a thin layer of cooking oil, and let it cool completely. Now you’re ready to assemble your buns.

- Add the dashi stock and agar to a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium high heat. Lower the heat and simmer for 3 minutes, whisking continuously. Pour into a shallow dish and set in fridge 2-3 hours or preferably overnight.
- Soak the wheat gluten, dried bean curd sticks and shiitake mushrooms for 30 minutes. Drain and squeeze any excess liquid out. Finely chop them along with the bamboo shoots. Place them into a large bowl. Add in the scallions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, black soy sauce, shaoxing wine, sesame oil, sugar, white pepper and salt. Give it a good mix. Cut the jellied soup stock into 1/4 inch x 1/4 inch cubes. Carefully fold it into the filling. The total weight of the filling is about 562g. Keep the filling covered and stored in the fridge until dough is ready.
- Electric Mixer: Add flour, yeast and salt (be sure the yeast is not touching the salt) to a electric mixer. Start with a low speed (setting 2) and pour in the water slowly. Increase the speed (setting 4) and let it run for about 6-8 minutes or until a smooth, elasticity dough forms. Cover and rest for 10 minutes (15-20 minutes if your kitchen is cold).
- By hand: Add the flour, yeast and salt to a bowl (ensure salt does not touch yeast). While stirring with a pair of chopsticks, drizzle the water in starting with the lesser amount. Once it begins to clump, knead with your hands until you get a smooth, elastic-y dough (about 10-15 minutes of kneading). Cover with a damp kitchen cloth and rest for 10 minutes (15-20 minutes if your kitchen is cold).

- In a small pot, add the pork skin and pork bones and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil, and immediately drain and rinse off the bones and the skin. This gets rid of any impurities. Rinse out the pot and put everything back in. Add 4 cups (950 ml) water, ginger, scallion and wine. Bring the pot to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 2 hours.
- In a mixing bowl, add the flour and the warm water 1 tablespoon at a time. Work and knead the dough for 15-20 minutes. The dough should be very soft and smooth. Cover with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Take your ground pork and put it in the food processor. Pulse for 30-60 seconds until the pork resembles paste. In a mixing bowl, add the pork and the rest of the ingredients except the aspic. Whip everything together thoroughly, for about 2 minutes. You want everything to be extremely well combined, and the pork should look like a light, airy paste. Gently fold in the diced aspic, and do not over-mix. Cover and transfer the filling to the refrigerator until ready to make the dumplings. If you’re ready now, you can put it in the freezer for 15 minutes to allow it to firm up and make assembling the buns easier.
- Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and roll the dough into a long cylinder/cigar, about an inch in diameter. Cut the dough into small equal pieces weighing about 11 grams each (the dough chunks should be a size resembling that of gnocchi). Roll out each piece into a round disc about 3 - 3 ¼ inches diameter. Keep everything under a damp cloth.
