LAZY PORK DUMPLINGS



Lazy Pork Dumplings image

While the filling and dough are relatively straightforward, it's usually the shaping of dumplings that takes a while. Here I've come up with a much quicker, more casual assembly method that works whether you boil, steam, or fry them. Served in a vinegary broth, however, they mimic the experience of soup dumplings, which are typically served with vinegar to balance that gush of rich, meaty juices you get when you bite in.

Time 1h50m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
¾ cup warm water
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 pounds ground pork
8 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
⅔ cup thinly sliced green onions
½ cup thinly sliced chives
4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
⅓ cup seasoned rice vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Combine flour, salt, and water in a bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon until dough comes together in a sticky ball. Sprinkle in more flour and knead by hand, adding more flour as needed, until soft and supple. Wrap in plastic and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Combine ground pork, garlic, ginger, green onions, and chives in bowl. Season with salt, pepper, gochugaru, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix together using two forks just until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Mix vinegar, soy sauce, and gochugaru into the chicken broth and set aside.
  • Divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll one piece into a rope about the thickness of your thumb. Using a rolling pin, flatten into a long, thin band about 3 inches wide, flouring only as needed. Dust the top with flour and flip over. Dip your fingers in some water and lightly brush the surface until slightly sticky.
  • Use moistened fingers to line about 1/4 of the pork filling across the dough. Fold dough over the whole length, pressing it down over the meat. Trim off excess dough if desired. Dust a little more flour on top and roll over so seam side is on the bottom. Divide into 16 pieces using the edge of your hand, then a bench scraper to cut. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  • Heat oil in a pan over high heat. Cook dumplings in batches, seam-side up, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Pour in a portion of the broth and bring to a boil. Cover and continue to boil until pork is no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Pour dumplings with broth into serving bowls.

LAZY DAY PORK CHOPS



Lazy Day Pork Chops image

Very simple and tasty, yet very lazy way to make pork chops or pork steaks. I make this about once a month or so. As often as my husband will let me get away with before he starts to complain. For pork steaks or more chops you might have to use an extra can of soup. I might be weird but I just love pork chops fixed this way! (Tastes better if the pork chop has some fat on it.)

Tips:

  • For the best results, choose pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help them stay juicy and tender during cooking.
  • To add more flavor to the pork chops, consider marinating them for at least 30 minutes before cooking. You can use a variety of marinades, such as Italian dressing, teriyaki sauce, or a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs.
  • If you are using a cast iron skillet to cook the pork chops, be sure to preheat the skillet over medium-high heat before adding the chops. This will help to sear the chops and create a nice crust.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the pork chops. If the chops are too close together, they will not cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature of the chops should be 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 165 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them more tender and flavorful.

Pork chops are a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways.
