The CookingBites Cookalong: Chinese Dumplings

[Morning Glory]

I am losing what little mind I have left!!
My dumpling thingy filling is made - I am pleased with it. I have been trying to make a sauce/dip for the dumplings. First attempt was an epic fail. Working on try #2.

Sauce should be the easy part! It should be a thin dipping sauce - little or even no cooking required. See the sauce in this recipe from @Herbie: Cheong Fun

I think I have the sauce worked out - it is more of a reduction than an Asian sauce.

A reduction? I'm worrying slightly... we will see!

I love these - I'd never even have thought of deep frying let alone the filling! They look very pretty.

Do Tibetan Momos count?
Made ~50 the other day..only a few frozen units left.. steam from frozen for ~25 mins.
Hand chopped chicken, with ginger, garlic, red onion, spices, etc.. I rarely stick to one recipe.
AP flour, water, salt for simple dough wrap
Served with green & red hot sauces on the side

Wow! I'm beginning to see that you are an accomplished cook - these look great. And you made your own wraps as well! Of course they count!

I haven't thought of freezing them - that is a good idea.

Bounty-ful dim sum! Wrappers made with plain flour, water, and a tiny pinch of salt. No sauce necessary - it's all inside

Is it liquid sauce inside?

Just slices of Bounty bar, but it almost melts. The first one I tried, I cut it too soon as the filling practically flowed out. The one I cut in the photo wasn't too bad, but the other two had cooled enough for the filling to start solidifying. The coconut in a Bounty bar is quite moist.

I'm not a sweet lover but I do rather like Bounty bars.

I'm extending the deadline on the Cookalong to midnight 28th Feb. to allow some of our new members to participate. I also want to try out another entry...

 

[Herbie]

Brillant! I was planning a new entry to this challenge but we are in our van so no access to ingredients I need. I'll try next week when in an actual house. (Even with my minute kitchen!)
