A twist on the usual dumplings! You can make these light or hearty, and customize them however you like! Recipe background: I saw a dumpling special on TV and wanted to eat some, but I didn’t have ground meat or wrappers. So I made these with what I had at home!

Steps

1

Prep: Make sure the meatballs are soft enough to mash.
2

Slice the daikon radish thinly with a slicer, sprinkle with salt, and let sit to draw out moisture.
3

Finely chop the vegetables, sprinkle with salt, and let sit to remove excess water.
4

Mash the prepared meatballs well, then mix in the seasonings and the well-drained vegetables from step 3.
5

Rinse the salt off the daikon slices and squeeze out excess water. Lightly wrap the filling from step 4 with the daikon slices.
6

Heat a frying pan with sesame oil. Cook the dumplings until both sides of the daikon are golden brown.
7

I used frozen chicken meatballs from Don Quijote for this recipe! Adjust the seasonings to match the type of meatballs you use for best flavor.
8

For chicken meatballs, use oyster sauce. For beef meatballs, you can skip pre-seasoning and just salt the vegetables. Curry powder is also a great variation!

If your meatballs are already cooked, the filling may fall apart easily. Dust with flour or add a binder when wrapping, or try wrapping with shiso leaves too.
