Boiled Dumplings (水餃)
Chinese dumpling or potsticker is a dough and wrapped around a filling. Normally, the dough is flour and the filling is meat and vegetables. Dumpling is prepared in different methods such as boiling, pan frying or steaming. Also, boiled dumpling in Chinese called jiaozi. In different cultures, there is similar cuisine and they all named differently.
When talking about dumplings, it brings back my childhood memory that my mom made dumplings all from scratch. In fact, there are so many different ways to make dumplings. Generally, people use meat and vegetables for the filling. Often, pork is used to make potstickers because it has better texture. Besides, you can use any vegetables such as bok choi, spinach, cabbage or napa cabbage.
This boiling method dumplings recipe that I am going to share is simple and easy one. In this recipe, I use garlic chives, cabbage and ground pork which give more flavor to the dumplings. On the other hand, don’t worry if you don’t master how to wrap it nice. This took me years to master it as well. Therefore, you just keep practicing. Then, you will get it eventually. Usually, I make a big batch and freeze them.
