Steamed Dumplings With Ginger Hoisin Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the block of tofu in half horizontally and put it between several layers of paper towels, set between two large plates, and top with a 28-ounce can from the pantry. Set aside for 20 minutes to extract as much whey as possible.
• Cut the tofu into 1/4-inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl along with the carrots, cabbage, bell pepper, scallions, ginger, cilantro, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, egg, salt and pepper. Toss by hand to combine.
• To form the dumplings: Remove 1 wonton wrapper from the package, covering the others with a damp cloth. Brush the edges of the wrapper lightly with water. Place 1 rounded teaspoon of the tofu mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold into a triangle and then attach the ends, then brush two points with a little water and pinch together to make a wonton shape.
• Bring a large pot of at least 3 inches of water to a low boil. Brush a parchment paper round lightly with oil, then place into a steamer basket. Place dumplings onto the parchment and cover the steamer with the lid. Steam dumplings for 15 minutes, until dough is cooked and center has cooked through. Remove dumplings from steamer and serve!

Steps:

• Mix ingredients for dipping sauce and set aside.
• Lightly oil a large bowl.
• Put the flour and salt in another large bowl, piled up.
• Make a dent in the top of the pile, and crack the egg into it.
• Mix the egg into the flour.
• Add enough water to the mixture to make a thick dough.
• The consistency should be like bread dough.
• In any case, don't add too much water--it shouldn't be like batter at all!
• Turn the dough out onto the flour-dusted counter, and form into a ball.
• (It helps to flour your hands first).
• Place the dough into the oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap (cellofane).
• Let stand 1 hour.
• Meanwhile mix all ingredients for filling and place in the fridge.
• Next, remove dough and place on flour-dusted counter (or work surface).
• Knead a bit and flatten until very thin (but not see-through or falling apart).
• Using a large, round cookie-cutter (or bottom of coffee can or top of glass) cut three-inch rounds.
• Don't place them on top of each other, as they could stick together!
• Knead the leftover pieces together again and cut more rounds until there's no dough left.
• Spoon a bit of the filling into the center of each round and fold in half (to make a semi-circle shape).
• Seal edges with a bit of water, and use tongs of a fork to decorate the edge.
• To prepare, either steam the dumplings (if you have a steamer) for 15 mins, or boil for 10 mins.
• If you boil, add some oil to the water and don't overcrowd the pan--make them in batches.
• If you like, you can fry the dumplings in a skillet or wok to brown them before serving.
• Handle gently!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Cut the tofu in half horizontally and lay between layers of paper towels. Place on a plate, top with another plate, and place a weight on top (a 14-ounce can of vegetables works well). Let stand 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, cut the tofu into 1/4-inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the carrots, cabbage, red pepper, scallions, ginger, cilantro, soy sauce, hoisin, sesame oil, egg, salt, and pepper. Lightly stir to combine.
• To form the dumplings, remove 1 wonton wrapper from the package, covering the others with a damp cloth. Brush the edges of the wrapper lightly with water. Place 1/2 rounded teaspoon of the tofu mixture in the center of the wrapper. Shape as desired. Set on a sheet pan and cover with a damp cloth. Repeat procedure until all of the filling is gone.
• Using a steaming apparatus of your choice, bring 1/4 to 1/2-inch of water to a simmer over medium heat. Spray the steamer's surface lightly with the non-stick vegetable spray to prevent sticking. Place as many dumplings as will fit into a steamer, without touching each other. Cover and steam for 10 to 12 minutes over medium heat. Remove the dumplings from the steamer to a heatproof platter and place in oven to keep warm. Repeat until all dumplings are cooked.

Steps:

• Whisk together the ingredients for the dipping sauce, making sure the sugar dissolves. Set aside.

• Add the pork and mix to combine.
• Fill a small bowl with water and lightly flour a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of a wrapper. Dip your finger in the water and use it to moisten the edge of the wrapper.
• Pinch one end tightly to seal and then make several pleats to close up the filling entirely. Flatten out the bottom. If not pleating, simply fold one half of the wrapper over the filling and press together to seal.
• Set the dumpling on the prepared baking sheet and cover with a damp towel while you continue filling the rest.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup of water to the pan, then place 6-7 dumplings in the water. Cover with a clear lid and let steam for 10 minutes, without lifting the lid.
• Continue with the remaining dumplings. Serve with the dipping sauce.
• You can freeze any uncooked dumplings and cook them later using the same method, but steaming for an additional 1 - 2 minutes longer.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 12 ingredients. Add turkey; mix lightly but thoroughly. , Place 1 tablespoon filling in center of each pot sticker wrapper. (Cover remaining wrappers with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Moisten wrapper edge with water. Fold wrapper over filling; seal edges, pleating the front side several times to form a pleated pouch. Stand dumplings on a work surface to flatten bottoms; curve slightly to form crescent shapes, if desired., Line a steamer basket with six cabbage leaves. In batches, arrange dumplings 1 in. apart over cabbage; place in a large saucepan over 1 in. of water. Bring to a boil; steam, covered, 6-8 minutes or until cooked through. Discard cabbage. If desired, serve with chili sauce. Freeze option: Cover and freeze cooled dumplings on waxed paper-lined baking sheets until firm. Transfer to a large freezer container. To use, microwave dumplings, covered, for 30-45 seconds or until heated through.

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine pork, onions, garlic, sesame oil, salt and pepper.
• Fill each wrap with a small spoonful of the pork mixture and seal with water, pressing edges and folding a bit to "ruffle" them.
• Heat water to boiling, and place bamboo steamer (or sieve) lined with a large cabbage or lettuce leaf (to prevent sticking) over the pot.
• Reduce heat to medium.
• Place dumplings in a single layer (not touching each other) on leaf, cover and steam for 20 minutes or so--until cooked through.
• Meanwhile, make sauce.
• In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, vinegar, hoisin, sesame oil and sugar; set aside.
• In a small sauce pan, heat oil, and sauté garlic and ginger until barely golden.
• Add soy mixture and heat through.
• If desired, whisk cornstarch and water to make a slurry and use this to thicken the sauce.
• Thickening the sauce allows for better coating of the dumplings while dipping, but is not necessary.
• Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
• Serve hot dumplings with sauce.

Steps:

• Place the wonton skins on a work surface and cover them with a damp towel. Remove the wonton skins 1 at a time and place about 1 teaspoon filling in the center; do no overstuff or the wontons won't seal securely. Moisten the edges of the wontons with water. Bring 2 opposite corners to the center, pinching the points to seal, then bring remaining 2 corners to center, pinching the points to seal. Repeat with the remaining wonton skins and filling.
• Add the wontons in batches (if you add too many at once they may stick together) to the boiling water. Stir gently with a wooden spoon and bring back to a boil; boil 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the wontons to a platter. Serve with a dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Mix first seven ingredients (pork through ginger). Place 2 teaspoons mixture in each wrapper. Fold in half, and pinch edges with tucks to form a standing half-moon shape. Seal the edges with a bit of cold water.
• Place the dumplings on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper and refrigerate.
• Oil the steamer, or line the bottom with cabbage leaves so the dumplings won't stick. Place dumplings in steamer, and steam at medium heat for 20 minutes. Makes 46 dumplings. Drizzle with Garlic-Soy Dipping Sauce. Garnish with cherry tomatoes and cilantro, if desired.
