BEEF + MUSHROOM DUMPLINGS WITH ASIAN DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Place mushrooms, water chestnuts, green onions, and cilantro in a food processor and blitz until finely minced.
• Cook the ground beef in a large sauté pan over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and let cool for 5 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, mushrooms, scallions, cilantro, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, white pepper, red pepper flakes and egg. Mix well with a large spoon or hands.
• Set up a work area with the dumpling wrappers and a small bowl of water; lay out the dumpling wrappers on a large cutting board or baking sheet. Place a 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.
• Moisten wrapper edges with water with your finger or pastry brush, and fold the wrapper over filling to make a half circle. Seal edges, pleating the front side several times to form a pleated pouch. (You can also use a dumpling maker to seal the dumplings to make it easier and faster to assemble.)
• Heat a skillet over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon oil and coat the sides. Place dumplings in a single layer to line the pan, pan fry for about 30 seconds, then carefully and slowly pour in 1/2 cup of water so the dumplings are covered by 1/2-inch. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook dumplings until all the water is absorbed. Remove the cooked dumplings with a spatula and set aside on a plate. (You can also carefully flip the pan over on to a plate with a hot pad, and scrape the dumplings off the pan). Repeat cooking the remaining dumplings.
• To make the dipping sauce, whisk all ingredients in a small bowl. Serve the sauce with hot dumplings, garnish with additional sliced scallions.

SICHUAN BOILED DUMPLINGS WITH SPICY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Editor's Note: Hot bean paste is a savory, spicy combination of fermented soybeans and chiles. Look for jars at Asian markets.
• For the filling, combine the pork, shrimp, soy sauce, vegetable oil, cilantro, scallion, mushroom, sesame oil, white pepper, and 1/3 cup water in a medium bowl. Mix well. Cover, and freeze for 1 hour (or refrigerate overnight) to firm the mixture and make it easier to handle.
• Dissolve the cornstarch in 3 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl to make a paste. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and sprinkle it with cornstarch. Moisten the edges of a dumpling wrapper by dipping your finger into the paste and running it over the edge of the wrapper. Using a blunt knife as a scoop, place about a tablespoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Bring the edges of the wrapper up to meet at the top of the filling and pinch them closed, squeezing the dough. Place the dumpling on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers. (The uncooked dumplings can be made ahead, covered with plastic wrap, and refrigerated for up to 1 day. Or freeze them for up to 3 months. To freeze, place them in a single layer in a plastic storage container or plastic storage bag, arranged so that the dumplings don't touch one another. When you are ready to cook them, the frozen dumplings will be easy to remove, one by one.).
• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add the dumplings and cover the pan. Cook until the filling is cooked through and the dumplings are floating on top of the water, about 4 minutes.
• While the dumplings are cooking, make the sauce: Heat a wok or medium skillet over high heat. Add the oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the scallions, garlic, and black pepper, and stir-fry for 20 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl. Add the sugar, vinegar, hot bean paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, and hot chile oil to the scallions, and mix well. Divide the sauce among four soup bowls.
• Carefully drain the dumplings in a colander. Place the dumplings on top of the sauce in the bowls, and serve immediately.
