Soup Dumpling | Xiao Long Bao | 小籠包

Ingredients

For the wrap :

  • - 120g T55 or all-purpose flour
  • - 1g fine salt
  • - 60ml water
  • - 1/8 tsp vegetable oil

For the aspic :

  • - 160ml water
  • - 5g fresh ginger
  • - 5g green parts of a leak
  • - 1 tsp oyster sauce
  • - 8g gelatin powder dissolved in 1.5 to 2 tbsp water
  • - 7g Chinese chicken bouillon powder

For the filling :

  • - 100g pork belly - chopped roughly
  • - 100g ground pork (shoulder preferred) *arrange the split as you prefer
  • - 5~6g lard
  • - 3/4 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • - 10g green long onion
  • - 1 tsp water
  • - 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • - a dash of salt
  • - a dash of sugar
  • - 1 tsp Chinese shaoxing rice wine or cooking sake or white wine

For the dipping sauce :

  • - 2 tsp soy sauce
  • - 3 tsp rice or apple cider vinegar
  • - some fresh ginger - cut into julienne

Instructions

  • 1. Making the dough
  • In a bowl add flour, salt and mix well. Add the water then knead with your hand gently. Once the dough starts to be like crumbles, add vegetable oil. Knead until the dough comes together in a ball.
  • 2. Transfer to a working surface, and knead by hand for 3 minutes. Then cover with saran wrap and let sit for 1 hour.
  • 3. _Making the aspic (in advance, maybe a day before?)
  • In a small heat-safe cup, add gelatin and water. Mix. Set it aside.
  • 4. In a cooking pot add water, green parts of a leek, ginger and bring it to a boil. Once it boils, add chinese chicken bouillon powder, oyster sauce and mix. Remove from the heat. Strain the soup into a heat-safe plate and let it cool a little to 55~60℃.
  • 5. Add the soaked gelatin and dissolve it completely. Let it to cool to room temperature, and then chill in the fridge until firm.
  • 6. Making the filling
  • In your food processor, add pork belly and process until minced. Add the ground pork and process until combined well.
  • 7. Add cooking sake, water, sesame oil, fresh ginger, green long onion, lard, a dash of salt and sugar. Pulse until the pork turns into a paste. Transfer the meat mixture into a bowl. Cover it and keep it in the fridge if your aspic is not ready.
  • 8. Take out the aspic from the fridge and transfer it to the food processor. Pulse for a few seconds. Add the diced aspic to the pork mixture. Mix well. Cover and chill for now.
  • 9. Making the wrap
  • Take some of the dough and feed 1 to 2 times in position 1 of the Kitchenaid Pasta Roller. Change to position 2 or 3 and feed 1 to 2 times. Change to position 5 or 6 and feed 1 or 2 times. Finally change to position 8 (thinnest) and feed 1 or 2 times.
  • 10. Cut the dough with a ring (I used a 9cm diameter one). Transfer to a lightly floured plate (Keep the excess dough to make more wrappers at the end). 1 wrapper is about 8 to 9g, so if you don't use the pasta roller, take about 9g of dough & roll it directly into a disc shape with a rolling pin.
  • 11. Place some filling in the middle of a wrapper. Pleats the wrapper's edge with as many folds as you can :) (Pulling the edges make them thinner).
  • 12. Prepare the steamer: place a cloth or a parchment paper with holes. Place the dumplings. Steam for about 8 minutes.
  • 13. Meanwhile make the dipping sauce. In a small cup, add 2 tsp soy sauce and 3 tsp rice or apple cider vinegar. Mix. Place some fresh ginger, it's nice.
  • 14. Now it's ready! Enjoy :)

Homemade Gyoza Wrappers with Kitchenaid

Gyoza Wrappers w KitchenAid Stand mixer

Persons

Prep Time
15 minutes
Cook Time

45 minutes
Gyoza Wrappers w KitchenAid Stand mixer

Ingredients

  • 100g cake flour/plain flour (T45)
  • 1/3 tsp fine salt
  • 1/2 tbsp rice flour (optional)
  • 50ml boiled water

Instructions

  • 1. Add flour, salt and rice flour into a large bowl and stir well. Add hot water and stir with a rubber spatula. Then knead the dough by hand for about 1 to 2 minutes until it gets smooth. You can shape it into a ball.
  • 2. Let the dough sit in the bowl for about 15 min, covered with a damp cloth.
  • 3. Remove the bowl of your stand mixer and attach the pasta roller to it.
  • 4. Take some of the dough (about 1/3), shape into an oval. Flatten it and dust it with flour on both sides.
  • 5. Feed the dough through the pasta roller (setting 1 - thickest), at least 3 to 5 times or until the dough is smooth. Turn dial to the thickness setting 3 or 4 and run the dough through once or twice. Repeat (once or twice) at each following position until you reach setting 8. The target thickness really depends on your own preference. I like thin skin, so I roll it until setting 8 :)
  • 6. Lay the rolled out sheet of dough on a cutting board and cut it out, using a circle cookie cutter (8~9cm diameter suggested). Dust the cut out wrappers with katakuriko/potato starch and set aside. Repeat as many times as you can.
  • Gather all the scrap dough, put it all together and re-roll it a few times until it becomes thin layers again.

Notes

I usually make 300g for 5 people.
