2. Pork Fried Dumplings
Ingredients
.5 lbs ground pork
.5 lbs chives or cabbage (to your preference)
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp salt
2 Tbsp ground white pepper
2 Tbsp sake or white cooking wine
1 egg
1 Tbsp corn starch
1 pack dumpling wrappers (or make your own!)
Flour (to prevent sticking)
Instructions
1. To prepare the filling: Combine the ground pork, soy sauce, salt, white pepper, cooking wine, and egg and mix thoroughly to combine. Finely chop the chives or cabbage and add them to the ground pork mixture along with the corn starch.
2. To assemble the dumplings: dust a silicone baking mat (or any work surface) with flour and prepare the dumpling wrappers so they are within reach.
3. Scoop a spoonful of the filling in the middle of the dumpling wrapper.
4. Dip your finger in some warm water and run it along the edge of the dumpling wrapper, fold the dumpling in half and press the edges together firmly to fully seal the edges.
5. If you don't plan on cooking the dumplings right away, you can pack them into some tupperware and place them in the freezer until you are ready to cook them.
For the dumplings:
1. Heat up some oil in your Mineral B Carbon Steel Wok or Fry Pan.
2. Carefully place the dumplings in the pan and fry them for about 2 minutes without flipping or turning them.
3. Pour some water (about 1/2 cup or a little less) into the pan and cover with a lid to allow the steam to further cook the dumplings.
4. Cook until all the water evaporates and transfer the dumplings to a serving dish.
3. Sauteed Brussel Sprouts
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
6 pieces of bacon, chopped
1 to 2 tablespoons pine nuts
Chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
1. On medium-high heat, add the olive oil to a Mineral B PRO Carbon Steel pan. As soon as the oil is hot and shining, swirl to coat the pan, then add the halved brussels sprouts. Let the sprouts sit completely undisturbed for 5 to 8 minutes, until they develop a dark, tasty, caramelized sear.
2. Add salt and pepper before stirring. Cook until the sprouts are browned all over, about 6 to 8 additional minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
3. Stir in the vinegar, bacon, and pine nuts, stirring to combine. As soon as the nuts are toasted, transfer the sprouts to a serving plate and sprinkle with parsley.
