]]> This recipe is a bit more of a project than a quick weeknight dinner, however it’s much easier that you think. These yummy potstickers are stuffed with a flavorful minced chicken filling and served with a tangy, umami dipping sauce.

To lighten the workload, get your partner or roommate involved and have a potsticker party!

Ingredients:

For the Dumplings:

  • 1 pound ground chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 thumb-sized piece of minced fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 3 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • Around 30 round wonton wrappers, defrosted
  • Neutral oil, for pan-frying (we like coconut)

For the Dipping Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup light soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 4 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 teaspoon chili oil
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions:

  1. Make the dipping sauce. Mix together all the ingredients in a small bowl until they are well combined. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken with the garlic, ginger, green onions, soy sauce and sesame oil and mix well.
  3. Lay out your wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Fill a shallow bowl with water. Place a heaped teaspoon of filling in each wrapper. Use your fingers to moisten the edges of the dumpling wrapper, fold it in half and then crimp, fold or press the edges to create your desired potsticker shape. There are plenty of YouTube videos to help if you get stuck!
  4. Once all the potstickers are complete, heat your oil over a medium heat in a large sauté pan with a lid.
  5. Carefully place the first batch of potstickers in the pan and sear for a few minutes until the bottoms are crisp and golden brown.
  6. Add a 1/4 cup water and pop the lid on. Allow the dumplings to steam for one minute and then place on a large plate.
  7. Continue cooking the potstickers in batches in this way until they’re all cooked.
  8. Serve with the dipping sauce, get your chopsticks at the ready and enjoy!

]]> If you’re still nursing a hangover from New Years, you might be pleased to know that another celebration is about to get underway! On January 22 this year, Asian communities around the world will celebrate the Lunar New Year 2023. Here are some dishes to honor the occasion. 

Dumplings

As a staple in Asian cuisine, Lunar New Year would not be complete without dumplings. Fill them with combinations of prawn, chicken, pork, mushrooms, scallions, ginger, and garlic. Dumplings also symbolize longevity and wealth which are wonderful sentiments to take into the next lunar cycle.

Longevity Noodles

The name speaks for itself as far as longevity noodles are concerned. In Chinese these are called Yi Mein. Featuring crunchy snow peas, water chestnuts, and shiitake mushrooms, these umami noodles are also said to bring you luck and prosperity.

Mochi

These little rice cakes are a traditional treat in Japan at new year. During the Heian period, nobles of the Imperial court believed that long strands of freshly made mochi symbolized long life and well-being. The sweet treats can be flavoured with everything from matcha to chocolate.

]]> Every single country in the world has its living tradition, music, art, and many more attractions—including specialties of its cuisine. Traditional foods have always been a big part of every country’s heritage, and Chinese cuisine deserves a special place in your cookbook.

Dumplings are one of the staples of Chinese cuisine, and they usually consist of pieces of dough wrapped around a filling, or of dough with no filling. A variety of methods are used to prepare dumplings—including baking, boiling, frying, simmering, or steaming. In China, when we talk about dumplings, we’re usually referring to boiled dumplings or Shui jiao.

This is the ultimate comfort food that’s eaten on a regular basis in this country, and it’s super delicious. Boiled dumplings are moist and juicy, and also the most important dish for celebrating Chinese (Lunar) New Year in northern China.

During the holiday season, it’s common for people to place a coin or a candy inside with the hope of obtaining a fortune or having a sweet life on Chinese New Year’s Eve, the evening before Chinese New Year, or and special family occasions.

If you want to make this dish the way they do in China, you can have to follow the recipe.

]]> Gyoza a Japenese dumplings often filled with meat, but can always be made vegetarian. Many people buy the wrappers from a store, but actually they are very easy to make at home! The best part is that they only require three ingredients, and the wrappers themselves are vegan. They don’t take much time or effort at all, so give them a try and bring something new to the dinner table.

First, measure out 2 cups of flour and sift into a large bowl. Then, measure out 1/2 cup of boiled water. Dilute 1/2 teaspoon of salt into the water and then combine with the flour. Mix with a rubber spatula until everything is mixed together, and then knead the dough for ten minutes. Divide the dough into two parts, and roll each half into a  log. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.

Sprinkle some cornstarch onto your surface and cut each log into 1-inch pieces. Roll the pieces into a ball and then take a rolling pin to flatten them. Use a cookie cutter to cut out perfect circles and use the scraps to make more wrappers. That’s all! Stuff with your choice of filling, fry, and enjoy!
