Jiaozi
Jiaozi, also known as Chinese dumplings, are a popular dish made with a flavorful filling wrapped in a thin dough and then steamed or pan-fried.
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
- Water (1/4 cup)
- Wonton wrappers (40 wrappers)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
- Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
- Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
- Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
- Green onions (2, finely chopped)
- Napa cabbage (1 cup, finely chopped)
- Shrimp (1/2 pound, peeled and deveined)
- Ground pork (1/2 pound)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, shrimp, napa cabbage, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water.
- Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape, then pinch the edges together to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- To steam the jiaozi, place them in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper. Steam for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
- To pan-fry the jiaozi, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the jiaozi in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Add water to the skillet, cover, and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the jiaozi are cooked through and the water has evaporated.
- Serve the jiaozi hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
