"Spring Roll" Pot Stickers

Credit: Christopher Testani

"Spring Roll" Pot Stickers Recipe

The classic filling in Vietnamese spring rolls goes into wonton skins that are browned in a skillet. The shape allows more surface area to make contact with the pan--so more crispy goodness.

Pork and Shiitake Pot Stickers

Pork and Shiitake Pot Stickers Recipe

It's never a bad idea to have a good supply of dumplings on hand. Ours taste way better and are much lower in sodium than what you'll find at the store. Plus, they go from freezer to plate in only 10 minutes--what could be easier? Just cook what you need tonight, and stash the rest in the freezer for a busy night later.

Flecked with peppery watercress, these soft chicken dumplings make for a slurpy-good appetizer soup. Be sure to use regular ground chicken (not chicken breast) for the best flavor and texture. For this recipe, you'll be making the nurse's cap dumpling shape.

Shrimp Mandu (Shrimp Dumplings) Recipe

At a fantastic dumpling stand in the Insadong area of Seoul, I had dumplings like these. The little shrimp tails poking out of the dumplings are an adorable cue to the filling within.

Shumai with Crab and Pork

Shumai with Crab and Pork Recipe

Because he's based in California, Sylvan Mishima Brackett uses Dungeness crab to make these open steamed dumplings, but any lump crabmeat will work well. The dumplings are juicy and flavorful on their own, so they're best served simply with just a little Chinese mustard and soy sauce, for dipping.

Shrimp and Mushroom Sui Mei

Shrimp and Mushroom Sui Mei Recipe

These open-faced dumplings are a staple of Hong Kong dim sum. Round gyoza skins work best here. If you can't find them, cut square wonton wrappers into circles using a three-inch biscuit cutter. Lining the bamboo steamer with cabbage leaves ensures the dumplings won't stick. To vary the texture and taste, top each dumpling with lump crabmeat or a small piece of scallop instead of shrimp, and dot with hoisin sauce instead of hot sauce.

Chinese Potstickers

Credit: Becky Luigart-Stayner; Styling: Jan Gautro

Chinese Potstickers Recipe

Variations of these little dumplings are popular throughout China. They symbolize abundance and wealth for the coming year, as they are made in large amounts and, when fried golden, represent coins. In northern China they are served in the hours between the old and new year. These may take some time to prepare, but gather a few friends to help assemble the potstickers. Cook two dozen for your party, and freeze the extras for future snacks or meals. Simply pop the extra, uncooked dumplings in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag.
