Description

These oven-baked dumplings are a delightful fusion of crispy texture and savory flavor, with a golden-brown exterior that gives way to a tender, flavorful filling. Paired with a rich and creamy peanut sauce, each bite offers a satisfying crunch followed by a burst of umami goodness.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Dumpling Wrappers: 20 round wrappers
  • Filling:
    • 1 cup ground pork
    • 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
    • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Peanut Sauce:
    • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
    • 1/4 cup soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon chili paste (optional)
    • 1/4 cup warm water (to thin)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine all filling ingredients and mix well until fully incorporated.
  3. Place a dumpling wrapper in your palm, add 1 tablespoon of filling in the center, and fold the wrapper in half, sealing the edges with a little water.
  4. Arrange the dumplings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not touching.
  5. Brush the tops lightly with oil for extra crispiness.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. While the dumplings are baking, prepare the peanut sauce by whisking together all sauce ingredients in a bowl until smooth.
  8. Serve the dumplings hot with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: Dumplings can be assembled and frozen before baking. Bake from frozen, adding an extra 5-10 minutes to the cooking time.
  • Storage: Store leftover dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Substitutions: Ground chicken or tofu can be used in place of ground pork for a different flavor profile.
