Remember how long long ago (uh, last month), I made super basic dumplings and lamented the fact that I didn’t have more ingredients to make a more detailed/complicated dumpling? Well, here they are!! :O
For the record, they were glorious.
There is, however, an unholy amount of chopping/mincing/dicing necessary to make these, so we split up the work between 3 people. We were also not hardcore enough to make our own dumpling wrappers from scratch, so those were purchased at the local Asian market.
We’d kinda planned to make this a good couple weeks ago, so…they were just a tad dried out. We made it work though!

Ingredients:
(Filling)
- ground chicken
- ground beef
- cabbage, diced
- carrots, diced
- garlic, minced
- green onion, finely chopped
- mushroom, diced
- ginger, minced
- sesame oil
- soy sauce
- crushed sesame
(Dipping Sauce)
- soy sauce
- rice wine vinegar
- sesame oil
Instructions:
- (Dumplings) Cook up the ground meats with sesame oil. Mix in all the vegetables and other goodness. Drizzle in sesame oil and soy sauce. Mix.
- Put small teaspoon-ish portions of the mixture into the middle of each wrapper.
- Dip finger in water and trace border of wrapper (it helps to seal em’; using egg would probably work for this too). Fold wrapper in half.
- (Dipping Sauce) Mix ingredients together.
I’m sorry that there aren’t exact measurements, but it really depends on personal taste and/or how many you want to make. Eyeballing it works pretty well.
