These blanket dumplings have crispy bottoms, tender filling, and that classic potsticker chew, all without touching a single pleat.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE
Instead of wrapping the filling, you simply scoop or roll the seasoned meat into a patty, drape a wrapper over the top like a blanket, and press it down so it adheres.
INGREDIENTS
You need: Ground pork, Green onions, Garlic, Ginger paste, Soy sauce, Sesame oil, Rice vinegar, Black pepper, White pepper, Dumpling wrappers, Oil, Chili crisp, and Sesame seeds
In a large bowl, combine the ingredients for the dumpling filling. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly incorporated.
STEP 1: MAKE THE FILLING
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Using a cookie scoop, portion the seasoned meat directly into the skillet.
STEP 2: FORM AND PLACE THE PATTIES
Place a single dumpling wrapper over each portion of meat and gently press down so the wrapper adheres to the surface and the meat flattens slightly underneath it.
STEP 3: ADD THE WRAPPER BLANKET
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, undisturbed, until the bottoms are deeply golden brown and crispy.
STEP 4: SEAR THE BOTTOMS
Carefully pour a small amount of water into the skillet around the dumplings, then immediately cover with a lid. Steam for 5 to 6 minutes.
STEP 5: STEAM
Remove the lid and continue cooking for another minute or two, allowing any remaining moisture in the pan to evaporate.
STEP 6: FINISH AND CRISP
Transfer the finished dumplings to a serving plate. Top with a generous drizzle of chili crisp, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and sliced green onions.
STEP 7: TOP AND SERVE
