Meat Dumplings
Soupy food has always been comforting to me, which is why I prefer to have soups if I could, along with the meal. Since I’ve some leftover radish soup, I made some meat dumplings and blanch some noodles to go with it.
The ingredients for the dumpling:
150 grams minced pork
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce
30 grams minced carrots
20 grams water chestnuts or chinese turnips (optional)
20 grams minced wood ear fungus
dumpling skins
Spring onions could be added into the meat fillings too
Method:
- Mix them thoroughly together, and wrap them with store bought meat dumpling skins. The skins can be found in any frozen food section in the supermarket. I made mine in half moon shapes.
- To cook them, simply drop them into boiling water. I prefer to cook them in boiling water instead of soup base because the starchy dumpling skins will make the soup base starchy and taste funny.
To complement the meal, I blanched some dried udon and small pak choy. Otherwise, I think blanched spaghetti or ramen are good to go with the dumplings too.
Voila! Meat dumpling and udon in radish soup.
