Chinese dumplings for #sundaysupper New Years Bucket List

I was willing to make these dumplings since I ate them in my favourite Chinese in BCN: I call it the "Chinese for Chinese" because the most part of the customers are Asians. Is no need to say that the food is awesome!

The recipe is adapted from Rasa Malaysia.

Pan-Fried Dumplings with Pork, Shrimp and Chinese Cabbage

Dumpling wrappers (or just buy a pack of already made round wrappers)

We need

1 cup  flour, and some extra for dusting.
1/4 cup water

Step by step:

1. Knead flour and water until the dough isn’t sticky. Cover it with a cloth or plastic film and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature (I let it 45 because my kitchen is a little Antartica in winter).
2. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and made a long cylinder.
3. Cut it into 24 pieces and roll each one into a round 4 inches wrapper.

For the filling.

We need:

8 oz ground mix of beef and pork (the original was just pork)
4 oz peeled shrimp, grounded.
2 oz Chinese cabbage, into julienne
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon finely chopped scallion
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Optional: 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine (or sherry)
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
Pepper or chili and salt to taste.

To ensamble: a small beaten egg.

Step by step:

1. Mix all the ingredients to prepare the filling.
2. Put the wrapper un your palm and fill ir with 1/2 tablespoon of filling.
3. Paint the edges of the wrapper with egg and fold into a "D" shape. Press ans seal.
4. Pinch and fold the edges backward into a wavy shape.
5. Heat some oil in a wok or pan over medium heat abd fry the dumplings in batches for 3 minutes aprox. They will be ready when the botttom is brown.
6. Add 50 ml water to the wok or pan and turn the heat to high. Cover with a lid and let it broil until thewater has completely evaporated.
7. Add some oil and fry the dumplings again until them become crispy.
8. Repeat with the other dumplings.
9. Serve the dumplings warm withspicy soy sauce or black vinegar.


No pictures today, so sorry... I've been ill these past days. Tomorrow I'll try to make them.

  4. Dumplings steamed or fried are so good. I make a Japanese pork version that my wife loves and she had me make last week for New Year's Day. So good.

  14. lol, even though I'm Chinese, I would never attempt to make dumplings myself. I know that mine would look about as hideous as they taste. And since I live in a city that's full of amazing Asian restaurants and shops, I just go out and buy them when the mood strikes. I think it's awesome that you made yours entirely from scratch. I can't wait to see your photos and I hope you feel better soon!
