MY VERSIONSIMPLE AND EASYDUMPLING IN DELICIOUS BROTHLOVING IT

MY VERSIONA LIGHT AND EASY PORK SOUPDUMPLING DIET MEALLOVING IT

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 really wanted dumplings. Unfortunately I had no wonton wrappers, so I experimented with ways to make the spring roll wrappers I had work. I really enjoyed the result!

This is the dish you make for your seven year old culinary students who showed up for class today with severe head and chest colds. It's rib sticking goodness! I used easy dumplings since I didn't have much time but I did list an easy homemade version for you in step # 14.

Beef liver broth deepens the beef flavor in soups and sauces. A small amount of beef liver broth, the size of an ice cube, is enough to add a rich beefy flavor to a cup of soup.By concentrating beef liver broth with these herbs and spices, and freezing it in cubes, you will have your own condiment ready anytime in the form of frozen cubes.I tested the broth four ways: without herbs or spices, with onion, with onion and garlic and spices, and with onion, garlic and spices and soy sauce. Here is the winning recipe.After the flavor has been extracted, the simmered beef liver and Canadian bacon are mixed with breadcrumbs and herbs to make great liver dumplings for salads, sandwiches and other dishes.#CA2025

If you haven't already noticed, I do love my Crock-Pot cooking and today I'm featuring my instapot. We are currently struggling financially, so this is a "look in pantry and throw something together" meal.

Not much back story here. I found this recipe probably more than 20 years ago and it has never failed me.

Thank you for taking a look at my recipe.I love juicy pork shumai dumplings as well as sweet shrimp shumai dumplings, but in the pursuit of making something that was as healthy as possible, I wanted to make tofu shumai dumplings too.These are low in calories, have no added oil and are good for you.It's important to drain the tofu well to start.I made them bigger than the usual shumai dumplings.I used wonton wrappers this time, but if you use shumai wrappers instead, you will need to 25 to 30.These are "hana-shumai" (flower shaped shumai - the shredded wrappers look like petals) so they're easy to form.

After I tried different gyoza recipes, this recipe ended up our favorite because my husband likes the crispy texture of the gyoza. If you like, you can increase the amount of bean sprouts. It's a very economical and healthy dish.Pan-frying tips:1. Place the gyoza in a frying pan before you put in oil.2. Pour in water to cover 1/3 of the height of the gyoza and steam over high heat.3. After the water has completely evaporated, put in oil and fry. For 3 servings. Recipe by vivianstyle
