Lotus Root Dumplings (Clear Soup Version)
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
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

- 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
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.

Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Tang Bao)
There are two types of dough for soup dumplings: cold water dough and fermented dough. This time, I used cold water dough. To achieve a juicy filling, I made pork skin jelly! It's important to let the dough relax properly for easy rolling, and the thickness of the dough is crucial. Roll and fill the dumplings immediately, as thin dough dries out quickly, so be sure to cover it after rolling. Feel free to visit my Facebook page: https://m.facebook.com/Womanritaskitchen/

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.
Super Easy Clear Soup with Fluffy Egg
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

Kabocha Squash Dumpling Soup
I ate this a lot when I was a child. It's a great way to have kabocha squash.Adjust the amount of katakuriko depending on how watery the kabocha squash is.

Chive Soup Dumplings
Eating too many pork soup dumplings can get a bit heavy, so adding some chives to balance the flavor is a great idea. These dumplings have thin skins and are full of broth, making them incredibly tempting!Tips:1. After kneading the dough, cover it with a damp towel and let it rise for about 1.5 hours. The dough will become soft and easy to roll into thin wrappers.2. Brush a layer of oil before steaming to make the dumplings more glossy and moist.3. Do not steam the dumplings with chives for too long, or the chives will change color, affecting the texture and appearance!For more "Simple Cooking in a Leisure Kitchen" recipes, please visit this URL: http://vvloveme2.blogspot.com.au/

Clear Soup with Chinese Chives and Eggs
When I was a kid, apparently I hated Chinese chives but I didn't have a problem when it was served in this soup, so my mother made it often.Mix the Chinese chives with the beaten eggs. Once you add the Chinese chives with eggs, do not mix. I really like the soft fluffy eggs combined with Chinese chives. I believe this recipe is quite popular in every home. Recipe by Shiotomo
Easy Non-Greasy Soup Dumplings 📒 Steamed Dumpling 📒 Soup Dumpling 📒 Xiao Long Bao 📒
Chalefen loves to do things in the simplest way, which is also suitable for lazy people (lazy people don't want to do anything, right?! 🤔)This time, the soup dumplings are made using a water method to keep the soup inside, and the key is that they are not greasy. If you like, you can give it a try!!Additionally, there is a version with a richer soup (mix it in yourself).✏️ For the easy version, as long as the water is mixed well, the soup is not a problem, and you don't need to add meat jelly to easily release the soup.✏️ When buying ground pork, ask the butcher to grind it again for a finer texture.✏️ If you don't have a steamer cloth, you can use perforated parchment paper or cabbage leaves as a base.✏️ Be careful, they're hot!!!
