Here Is my video to show you the step by step to make the most delicious dumplings.
Special Ingredients
Mushroom Seasoning
You need Mushroom Seasoning for the umami, you can purchase at the local Asian market but here is the link on Amazon.
Ground Pork
To save time you can use ground pork but I like purchasing pork shoulder and chopping it with a cleaver. It's pretty fast and you get much bouncier dumplings.
Dumpling Flour
Here is the link to the flour we use. I recommend using dumpling flour for the softest yet firm dumpling skin. I purchase this one at HMART.
Shiao Xing Rice Cooking Wine
Here is what it looks like. I usually buy at any asian store.
Tapioca Starch
Any brand from the asian store works. They're usually only like a dollar a bag.
You need a gram scale for making homemade dumplings- it’s essential!
The Best Dumpling Recipe Ever!
Ingredients
Dough ball Recipe : Yields around 20 dumplings each
180 grams wheat flour
20 grams tapioca starch
120 ml of boiling water- more or less for mixing.
Instructions
1. Combine flour and starch and water and mix on a stand mixer with the dough paddle on max speed. You can add more boiling water as the mixer is turning, if you notice a dough ball isn’t forming and you just have clunks. Add water slowly until the ball forms. You’ll know when the dough is clunky and sticks to the paddle.
2. Knead on a floured surface until the dough becomes bouncy.
3. Powder the dough ball and wrap in foil for 1-2 hours. We made a total of 4 dough balls for around 60-80 dumplings.
4. After an hour knead until smooth and even bouncier- rewrap until ready to wrap fold dumplings.
5. Knead the ball right before folding too.
Filling recipe: Enough for about 60-80 dumplings
2.5-3 pounds of pork shoulder or 2.5 ish pounds of ground pork.
