Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional Additions:
- Fresh herbs (optional)
- Minced garlic (optional)
Instructions
- Blend ground meat with finely chopped vegetables in a mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Add minced garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the meat mixture, gently folding to incorporate all flavors without overworking the mixture.
- Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface, positioning it like a diamond-shaped canvas.
- Scoop a small amount of filling into the center of the wrapper, being careful not to overstuff.
- Moisten the wrapper’s edges with water using your fingertip to create a secure seal.
- Fold the wrapper in half, creating a half-moon shape, and press edges firmly to close, forming pleats along the curved side if desired.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F.
- Carefully place dumplings in the hot oil, ensuring they are not overcrowded, and fry for 2-3 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown.
- Gently flip dumplings and continue frying for an additional 2-3 minutes until both sides are crispy and golden.
- Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauce.
Notes
- Customize meat choices by using ground turkey or plant-based alternatives for diverse dietary preferences.
- Finely dice vegetables to ensure even distribution and smooth waffle texture when mixing ingredients.
- Enhance flavor profile by adding grated ginger or red pepper flakes for extra complexity and warmth.
- Prevent wrapper sticking during preparation by lightly dusting work surface with cornstarch or flour.
