Description
These no-fold blanket dumplings are a cozy, weeknight-friendly twist on classic pan-steamed dumplings, filled with juicy pork, napa cabbage, ginger, and garlic, then cooked until tender with lightly golden bottoms.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 cups finely chopped napa cabbage
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 24 round dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil
- 3/4 cup water
Instructions
- Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and keep a lid and a small bowl of water nearby.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, finely chopped napa cabbage, sliced scallions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
- Add 2 tablespoons neutral oil to the skillet and let it warm gently.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Lightly moisten the edge with water if needed, then fold the wrapper over the filling like a blanket and press the edges together firmly.
- Arrange the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly golden.
- Pour in 3/4 cup water and cover immediately. Steam for 8 to 10 minutes, until the wrappers are tender and the filling is fully cooked.
- Remove the lid and let any remaining liquid cook off for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot.
Notes
- Keep the dumpling wrappers covered with a clean towel while assembling so they do not dry out.
- Do not overfill the wrappers or they may tear during cooking.
- You can make the filling several hours ahead and refrigerate it until ready to use.
- Leftover cooked dumplings reheat well in a skillet with a splash of water.
