The Ingredients You Will Need
To make these lunar new year dumplings, you will need the following ingredients:
For the dough:
3 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of boiling water
1/2 cup of cold water
For the filling:
1 lb of ground pork
1 cup of finely chopped cabbage
1/2 cup of chopped scallions
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
1 teaspoon of grated ginger
Lunar new year spices: 1 teaspoon of Chinese five-spice powder and 1/2 teaspoon of ground white pepper
Making the Dumpling Dough
To make the dough, start by adding the boiling water to the flour and mix until a rough dough forms. Then, gradually add in the cold water until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Making the Dumpling Filling
While the dough is resting, you can prepare the filling. In a bowl, mix together the ground pork, chopped cabbage, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lunar new year spices. Mix everything together until well combined.
Assembling the Dumplings
After the dough has rested, roll it out into a long log and cut it into small pieces. Roll each piece into a small circle, about 3 inches in diameter. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of the circle, then fold the dough in half and seal the edges by pressing them together. You can also use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Cooking the Dumplings
To cook the dumplings, you can either steam, boil, or pan-fry them. Steaming is the healthiest option, boiling is the easiest, and pan-frying gives the dumplings a crispy texture. Whichever method you choose, make sure to cook the dumplings in batches and avoid overcrowding the pan.
Enjoying the Dumplings
Once cooked, serve the dumplings hot with your favorite dipping sauce. These lunar new year dumplings are a symbolic dish that represents wealth and prosperity, so make sure to eat plenty of them during the new year celebrations.
In conclusion, making dumplings is a fun and delicious way to celebrate the Lunar New Year. With this easy lunar new year dumpling recipe, you can join in on the festivities and create wonderful memories with your loved ones. Happy cooking and happy new year!
