Chili Oil Dumplings

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Juicy Easy Chili Oil Dumplings

The traditional dumplings are one of the most well-loved dishes that we enjoy from Chinese cuisine. It has a variety of fillings that consist of ground meet or vegetarian options, and wrapped with a thin, rolled out piece of dough. The beauty of dumplings is that it can be savored in different ways, be it boiled, fried, or steamed. And it turns out good every time!

This recipe is inspired by the Sichuan Red Oil Wonton recipe, also known as Hong You Chao Shou in Chinese. Chao Shou translates to “folding of arms”, which refers to how people in Sichuan would fold their arms to stave off the cold during the winter months. The way the wonton is wrapped by folding the two ends across mimics this action of arms folding.

DELICIOUS AND PACKED WITH HEAT

My love for chili oil has been consuming me lately. So these chili oil dumplings are perfect to satisfy my cravings. They’re so delicious and packed with flavor in every bite, and the spiciness gives the perfect amount of heat.

Preparing dumplings can seem intimidating, but the steps are pretty easy to follow. I find the method that I used to wrap the dumplings as the easiest way in my opinion. However, feel free to fold your dumplings up to your preference.

NOTES

I also used my homemade chili oil. As for a store bought option, I recommend the one by Lee Kum Kee. You can adjust the amount of chili oil accordingly.

Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 lb ground meat (I used beef)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 green onion diced (diced)
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • 2 tbsp chicken broth
  • 1/2 tbsp corn starch
  • 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 egg

Instructions
 

Filling marinade

  • Add all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Keep mixing until the meat reaches a paste like consistency.
  • Let the meat marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Folding/wrapping dumplings

  • Place 1-2 tsp of filling in the center of the dumpling wrapper.
  • Dip your finger in water and lightly wet all 4 side edges of the wrapper.
  • Fold the wrapper in half and push out any air bubbles. Very important step to ensure the dumplings don't burst while cooking.
  • Wet the bottom corners of the wrapper and bring them together. Use the wet corners to seal it.

Cooking the dumplings

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil.
  • Add your dumplings. Dumplings are fully cooked when they float.
  • Remove the dumplings and add to a serving plate.
  • Drizzle with your favorite chili oil and garnish with green onions. Enjoy!

Notes

*Add 1tsp of more of ginger if you’d like. I’m not a big fan of ginger so I chose to not add it.

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Cocon Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Coconut Curry) @farahjeats 
Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
