Smash Dumpling Tacos: A Crispy Twist You’ll Love
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pack Dumpling Wrappers
- 1 cup Plain Flour
- 0.5 cup Boiling Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pound Pork Mince
- 3 stalks Spring Onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 0.5 cup Coriander, fresh, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice Wine Vinegar
- 1 egg
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 1 cup Cucumber, sliced
- 2 stalks Spring Onions, optional garnish
- 0.5 cup Coriander, for toppings
Instructions
- Prepare Wrapper Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain flour and salt. Gradually pour in the boiling water while stirring until a rough dough begins to form. Allow it to rest after kneading until smooth for about 15 minutes.
- Make Filling: In another bowl, mix the pork mince, spring onions, chives, coriander, garlic, ginger, light and dark soy sauces, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined and aromatic.
- Shape Wrappers: Divide the rested dough into small portions. Roll each piece into circles, about 3-4 inches wide, and add 1-2 tablespoons of the filling to the center.
- Cook Tacos: Heat a skillet with oil over medium heat. Smash each filled dough circle slightly with a spatula, place them in the pan, and fry for 2 minutes until golden brown. Add a splash of water carefully, cover, and steam for 1 minute. Uncover, and let them crisp for another 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Top your tacos with shredded carrot, cucumber slices, fresh spring onions, and a sprinkle of coriander. Enjoy them hot for the best flavor!
Notes
- Ensure oil is hot before frying for crispiness.
- Store leftovers separately to maintain crispy texture.
