_SFrozen Dumpling Recipes (Boiled Edition) ✨
I’ve had many people over the years ask me how to cook frozen dumplings well and only realised I’ve have never done a tutorial on this, so here it is for the boiling technique with some variations to up your dumpling game.
To boil:
3 litres water
1 tbsp salt
This amount of water to salt ratio will do up to 30 dumplings at a time, don’t overcrowd the pot otherwise the extra starches in the water make your dumplings gluey. Cook your dumplings from frozen, add them into boiling water, let it simmer and float for 2min before adding 1/2 cup cold water to stop the boil, bring back to a boil for 2 min and your dumplings should be cooked. If serving as is, coat them in a bit of sesame oil or neutral flavoured oil.
Basic dipping sauce:
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1-2 tbsp vinegar (rice or black)
2 tsp chilli oil (optional)
Sichuan/central Chinese sauce:
(about 30 dumplings)
1 tsp sesame seeds
1 tsp chicken boullion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp white pepper
1/8 tsp or pinch ground Sichuan pepper
1-2 tsp chilli flakes
3 cloves grated/minced garlic
60ml neutral oil (heated)
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce
1/2 tbsp rice vinegar (or any)
2 tbsp dark brown sugar syrup (mix water and sugar until dissolved 2:1 sugar to water)
2 tsp chilli oil
1/4 tsp salt to taste
In a heat proof bowl with all the dry ingredients and garlic, pour over oil heated to 220C, add wet ingredients, taste and adjust. Coat dumplings and serve over noodles or vegetables (Asian greens).
Summer dumpling dressing:
(About 20 dumplings)
1 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp sugar syrup (white sugar and water 1:1)
1 tbsp rice vinegar (or any)
1/2 tsp chicken bouillon powder
1/2 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp lemon or lime juice
1/4 tsp salt
1 clove garlic (minced)
1/2 tsp ginger (grated)
Your favourite vegetables (I used, tomato, Chinese celery, shallot, carrot, cucumber, coriander)
Mix all the sauce ingredients together and taste/adjust. Mix through the vegetables and gently fold in the cooked dumplings.
