How to Make Easy Chinese Dumplings W Dipping Sauce
- **Make the Dough (Optional):**
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add 1 cup boiling water, stirring with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons cold water, kneading on a lightly floured surface until a smooth, soft dough forms. Add more flour if needed.
- Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- **Prepare the Filling:**
- Combine all filling ingredients in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.
- **Assemble the Dumplings:**
- Roll out the dough (or use wonton wrappers) very thinly. Cut into 3-inch circles or triangles.
- Place 1/2 teaspoon of filling in the center of each circle/triangle.
- Wet the edges of the dough with water. Fold over, pressing firmly to seal and remove any air bubbles.
- Place assembled dumplings on a plate lined with waxed paper, cover with a clean towel, and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- **Cook the Dumplings:**
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook dumplings in batches of 8-10, browning them in the oil for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Carefully pour 1/2 cup of water into the pan, cover, and reduce heat to medium.
- Steam for 10 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Uncover and cook for another 3 minutes until the bottoms are crispy.
- Remove dumplings from the pan and keep warm in a 200°F oven while cooking remaining batches. Repeat steps 11-13 for each batch, adding 1/2 cup water each time.
- **Make the Dipping Sauce:**
- Whisk together all dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Serve with dumplings and enjoy!
