Chinese
Shui Jiao (Boiled Pork and Napa Dumplings)
Ingredients
The quantities follow this count.
How to cook it
-
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
-
Add the frozen dumplings and stir gently so they do not stick to the bottom.
-
Once the water returns to a boil, add a splash of cold water to slow it back down; repeat this twice more, which cooks the filling through without splitting the wrappers.
-
The dumplings are ready when they float and the wrappers look plump and slightly translucent, about 8 minutes total.
-
Drain and serve with a dip made from the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil and chopped scallions.
