Asian Steamed Dumpling Filling image

This a really terrific filling for those Asian steamed dumplings. The recipe was given to me by a good friend who is a chef at Benihana. You can use ground pork, ground shrimp, or ground turkey with great success. I have posted the recipe using ground pork because that is the typical mixture most people are accustomed to... but shrimp is a great indulgence and ground turkey is what I usually use and I love it.

Time 34m

Yield 8 big egg roll dumplings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb fresh ground pork
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons carrots, grated
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh ginger (grated with a ginger grater or lemon zester)
2 tablespoons oyster sauce or 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 (8 ounce) package wonton wrappers (* see the note at bottom of recipe)
1/2 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon chili paste, to taste (or more, I like Sambal Oelek)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon cilantro leaf (fresh chopped very fine like an Iron Chef!)

Steps:

  • Whisk all ingredients for the dipping sauce well and set aside.
  • Mix all of the meat mixture ingredients together and let it marinade for an hour or so for best flavor.
  • Place a scant tablespoon of filling in the center of a wrapper and fold and tuck. You know how it is done or look up a video tutorial on Youtube.( I really suck at folding those little time-consuming dumplings so for years I have just bought egg roll wrappers and make them like that) They aren't as pretty as the little cute parcels but it is a huge time saver for me.
  • Steam them for 9 minutes. If you have a Chinese steamer- fine. (I don't) You can use a vegetable steamer in a large sauce pan or I use my electric wok with the steamer attachment. Spray the steamer rack with Pam or vegetable and you will have no problem with them sticking.
  • The serving size is subjective depending on whether you use little wonton wrappers or egg roll wrappers so don't pay any attention to that -- but I had to enter something. The recipe will feed four however you decide to make them unless you are a glutton like me and then the serving size is just for one with a little bit left over for a snack the next day :-).

  • Bon Apetit in Japanese!

I'm a vegetarian. Can I make this recipe without the meat?

I'm allergic to shrimp. Can I use another type of seafood in this recipe?

The dumplings were a bit too oily for my liking.

The dumplings were a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices to the filling next time.

These dumplings were easy to make and turned out great. I used a store-bought dumpling wrapper and the filling was very flavorful.

I'm not a big fan of dumplings, but these were really good! The filling was savory and the wrappers were soft and chewy.

The dumplings were delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more ginger to the filling.

These dumplings were a hit at my party! The filling was flavorful and juicy, and the wrappers were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.
