Dumplinz

I went to a Korean market to browse for some cooking inspiration and I found dumpling skins (not a fan of the name, but love the taste?), sesame oil, rice vinegar and some chili sauce.

Later that night I was looking at different recipes for dumplings and mixed a few together:)

They turned out delicious - Sweet Potato Dumplings!

INGREDIENTS

1 pack of dumplings skins

1 sweet potato

1 shallot

1 clove of garlic

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 piece of ginger (your choice on size)

1 lbs cooked meat

OR 1 package of tofu (I like to grate the block like cheese)

1 -2 tablespoons coconut aminos

For the dipping sauce

2 tsp coconut nectar/maple syrup

2 tbsp coconut aminos

1 tbsp liquid aminos

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat the oil on medium add finely diced sweet potato, cook for 5-7 mins stirring occasionally

Add diced onion, garlic and ginger cook for 2 minutes

Add the tofu or meat cook together 3-4 minutes, add coconut aminos cook, stir in well 2 mins

Here’s the fun part! Get your dumplings ready and have a bowl of water so you can seal the sides!

place 1 tablespoon of the mixture in the center of the dumpling and then roll that thang UP! I did every single one trying to find the way i liked them cooked, reheated and functionality lol

Once you have all your dumplings completed and rolled up.

Heat sesame oil in a large sauté pan on medium high.

Cook about 5-8 dumplings at a time stirring occasionally. About 2-3 minutes cooking time for each dumpling or until they are turn golden brown on all sides.

Right before taking them out of the hot pan, grab a 1/4 cup water and the lid to the pan. Very quickly pour the water into the pan and cover it, this will steam them really quickly. It will sizzle and crackle the first few seconds but after about 10-15 seconds it will calm down, this is when you remove each one with tongs and place onto a serving tray. Repeat until all are finished.

i’ll report back, still assessing the results.
