Lotus Root Dumplings (Clear Soup Version)
My mother taught me this recipe, but I used shiitake mushrooms instead of shrimp so that vegetarians could eat it too, and I also omitted the egg white in the original recipe.
The key is to put just a little bit of grated ginger (including the juice), but if you use too much it will be too strong so watch out (you can use grated ginger from a tube).
After you have grated most of the lotus root, chop up the last little bit left and add it too.
Coat the Step 7 dumplings in katakuriko, deep fry them and serve them with a thickened ankake sauce for a delicious variation.. Recipe by Saishokubeginnernano

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Chop the shiitake mushrooms finely. If you are not a vegetarian, you can use 50 g of peeled and chopped shrimp instead.
- 2
Peel the lotus root, cut into half lengthwise and soak in water with a little vinegar (about 1 teaspoon of vinegar with enough water to cover the lotus root) to get rid of the astringency.
- 3
Grate the soaked lotus root and squeeze it out lightly to eliminate some of the moisture. Add the shiitake mushrooms or shrimp from Step 1 to the grated lotus root in a bowl.
- 4
Add the seasoning ingredients to Step 3, and knead gently with your hands to bring everything together. Taste and adjust the seasonings (you can add a little sugar at this point.) If you are not a vegetarian, add 1/2 of an egg white to make the dumplings light and fluffy.
- 5
When the flavor is to your taste, form the mixture into about ping-pong sized dumplings. I could make 8 to 9 dumplings with these ingredients.
- 6
Wrap up each dumpling in a piece of plastic wrap. Twist the ends tightly.
- 7
Microwave the wrapped dumplings from Step 6 for 2 minutes, then take off the plastic. Your chewy lotus root dumplings are done!
- 8
Make the clear soup: Add the flavoring ingredients to 500 ml of dashi (make the dashi stock with kombu and shiitake mushrooms, or use dashi stock granules.)
- 9
Heat up the Step 8 mixture, add the Step 7 lotus root dumplings and bring to a boil (don't heat for too long). Ladle into serving bowls, sprinkle in some chopped green onion and it's done.

Xiaolongbao (Chinese Soup Dumplings) Made with Gyoza Skins in a Frying Pan Xiaolongbao (Chinese Soup Dumplings) Made with Gyoza Skins in a Frying Pan
I wanted to eat xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) after seeing them on TV but wasn't really sure how to make the skins and didn't even have a steamer. So I used a frying pan and gyoza skins instead.- The soup will not melt easily when you mix it with the half-frozen ground pork.- Keep the soup and the filling in the refrigerator until just before using them.- You can also wrap the dumplings like gyoza if they're difficult to wrap.

Dumpling soup in miso broth Dumpling soup in miso broth
This dish was inspired by a Bon Appetit vid I watched recently where Zaynab Issa made a 5-ingredient soup featuring store bought dumplings. I've always steamed or fried my dumplings (known in our house as pot stickers), so this came as a revelation. I immediately turned to my Asian food guru-of-the-moment (a.k.a. Marion Grasby) to see if she's made one, and it turned out she has. And so, armed with these two sources, I cobbled up my own pot of soup using techniques from each. The result was warm, soothing, light yet satisfying, and totally wonderful on a cold January night.

I often make this whenever I need to serve soup with a meal.The tip for making fluffy egg is not to over-cook it.Crank up the heat to the highest setting for a few seconds, turn off immediately, then cover with a lid and wait for a minute.I only added an egg and mitsuba, but it's also good with shiitake or shimeji mushroom. If you don't have mitsuba, use finely chopped Japanese leek. Recipe by chococo -

The gyoza dumplings I ate at a restaurant didn't have Chinese chives, but we have to have them in ours at our house!!You don't have to add the grilled and minced chicken. The gyoza dumplings without it are just as good. However, using the grilled chicken will definitely add more texture and a better fragrance!! Please give it a try! For 4 servings.
