CHUCK OZBURN HBWK07A

WRAPPERS
2 cup Bread flour

FILLING
1 pound Lean ground pork
10 ounce Frozen chopped spinach
1 Scallion thinly cut or sliced up
2 tablespoon Ginger wine see note
1 tablespoon Sesame oil
1 tablespoon Light soy sauce
1 tablespoon Liquid from spinach

DIPPING SAUCE
2 tablespoon Sesame oil
1 tablespoon White vinegar
1 teaspoon Hot chili oil

FOR COOKING
2/3 cup boiling water; MORE
if needed
6 tablespoon Soy sauce
3 teaspoon Oil; (about)
2 cup Chicken stock; more if
needed

Mix flour and water to form dough; knead till smooth and elastic;
Cover with damp cloth and let rest for 20 minutes. Thaw spinach and squeeze
out moisture. Combine filling ingredients and mix gently, but well, by
hand. Combine sauce ingredients in a small jar and shake well. Roll
out dough to about 1/8 inch thick. (I use the 5 setting on an Italian pasta
machine) and cut into 3 inch circles; place about 1 One half tsp of filling
in center of circle; fold dough in half, pinch together at
center; make 3 pleats on each side and pinch along the top to seal edges
together; form into a half moon shape; place on floured surface and
cover with a dry towel; make remaining dumplings. Heat skillet and
coat liberally with oil; arrange dumplings in pan with flat side down;
brown lightly. Using 1 cup of stock for each 20 dumplings, add the
stock, cover and cook over medium heat until all the liquid is absorbed;
dribble 1 t bsp oil in skillet, shake gently to loosen dumplings and let
brown for 1 minute; invert onto a platter and serve with the dipping sauce.
Yield: about 4 One half dozen. Note: Can be frozen on cookie sheets
and then put in ziplok bags. DO NOT THAW before cooking. STEAMED
DUMPLINGS: Same as fried except use cold water when making the dough.
To cook, line a steamer rack with a damp towel; bring water to a boil;
place dumplings on the damp cloth, cover and steam for 15 minutes;
serve hot with dipping sauce. BOILED PORK DUMPLINGS: Same as fried except
pleats are omitted; instead, when dough is folded in half, pinch along
the top to seal. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; drop dumplings
in one at a time, stirring gently to prevent sticking; when water returns
to a boil, add 1 cup of cold water; repeat twice more. Dumplings will float
when cooked. Arrange cooked dumplings on a platter and drizzle
with dipping sauce; sp rinkle with thinly cut or sliced up scallions if desired.
Note: Use fresh pork and spinach if freezing the dumplings. Start fry
cooking process while the dumplings are still frozen. Steamed and
boiled dumplings should be thawed. If using 2 cups chives, omit
spinach and scallions. From Chuck Ozburn.
