Fish Consomme With Shrimp Dumplings And Edamame Recipes

LOBSTER DUMPLING IN SEAFOOD CONSOMME

Steps:

• In a food processor, puree the shrimp, lobster, mascarpone cheese, egg, ginger, water chestnuts, and cilantro. Transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour. Consomme: Place the broth, water and dashi in a pot bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for a few minutes. Dumplings: Lay out the wrappers on a work surface and place a heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center of each. Wet the edges of each wrapper with a little bit of water, gather the edges together, and twist to close. Place the dumplings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil and cook the dumplings for about 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve with the consomme. Garnish with bell peppers and cilantro.

SHRIMP AND EDAMAME DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the insert. Bring the water to a boil. Add the edamame, place a cover on the saucepan, and steam until just tender, 2 to 6.
• Place steamed edamame in a food processor; blend until smooth. Transfer edamame puree to a large bowl.
• Stir the shrimp, bok choy, egg white, ginger, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, garlic, and salt into the edamame puree.
• Pour about 2 tablespoons water in a dish.
• Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the shrimp mixture onto the center of a dumpling wrapper.
• Wet the edge of the wrapper with water, then fold over to create a half-moon shape; pinch edge to seal.
• Place the finished dumpling on a lightly floured baking sheet and cover with a damp towel; repeat with remaining wrappers.
• Working in batches of 6 to 8 dumplings, heat about 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry dumplings until crispy on one side, about 2 minutes.
• Flip dumplings and cook for 1 more minute. Add 1/4 cup water to the skillet and cover.
• Steam dumplings until shrimp are bright pink and no longer transparent in the center, about 4 minutes more. Repeat with remaining dumplings.
• For the dipping sauce: Whisk low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion, sugar, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes together in a shallow bowl until sugar has dissolved.

FRIED EDAMAME DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan add edamame to salted boiling water. Cook for 1 minute. Drain edamame and run under cold water to cool them slightly and add them to a food processor. Using a microplane grate the ginger and add to food processor along with wasabi powder, lemon juice, salt, sesame oil and scallions. Process until a chunky consistency forms.
• Working with 1 wonton wrapper at a time (cover remaining wrappers with a damp towel to prevent drying), spoon about 1 teaspoon edamame mixture in center of each wrapper. Moisten edges of dough with water; fold opposite corners to form a triangle, pinching points to seal. In a heat proof pan add about 2 inches oil and heat. When oil is hot add dumplings and fry until golden brown about 10 minutes. Fry off in batches making sure they don't touch in the oil so they won't stick. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider and place on paper towels to absorb the oil. Serve warm on a platter with soy sauce.

SHRIMP DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• To prepare the filling, place the pork fat in the boiling water and boil until fully cooked and translucent, about 30 minutes. Remove, place in a bowl, run cold water over it, and allow to stand for several minutes. Remove, dry with paper towels, and cut 2 tablespoons of fat into 1/8-inch dice. Reserve. Place the shrimp in the bowl of a electric mixer. Start the mixer and add, mixing thoroughly after each ingredient, the salt, sugar, egg white, tapioca flour, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Add the pork fat, water chestnuts, scallion, and bamboo shoots. Combine evenly and thoroughly. Remove the mixture, place in a shallow dish, cover, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. To make the dough, in the bowl of an electric mixer, place the wheat starch, tapioca flour and salt. Start the mixer and add the boiling water. (If an electric mixer is unavailable, mix by hand in the same order, pouring water with 1 hand, mixing with a wooden spoon with the other.) Add the lard and mix thoroughly. If the dough is too dry, add 1 teaspoon boiling water. Continue to mix until a ball of dough is formed. Remove from the bowl, knead a few times, and divide into 4 equal pieces. Place each piece in a plastic bag to retain moisture. To prepare the dumplings, before working the dough, oil the work surface. Soak a paper towel in melted pork fat or peanut oil and repeatedly run a clever blade across it so that the blade stays oiled. Roll each piece of dough into a cylinder 8 inches long and 1-inch in diameter. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Work with one and keep the others covered with plastic. Roll each into a small ball and press down with your palm to flatten it. Press flatter with the broad side of the oiled cleaver to create a round skin 2 1/2 inches in diameter. To form the dumplings, place 1 1/2 teaspoons of the filling in the center of each round and fold in half, forming a crescent or half moon. Hold the dumpling securely in one hand, then begin to form pleats with the fingers of the other hand. Continue to form small pleats until the dumplings are completely closed. Press the top edge of the dumpling between your thumb and forefinger to seal tightly. Tap the sealed edge lightly your knuckle to give the dumpling its final shape. Oil a steamer, place the har gau into steamer, cover, and steam for 7 minutes. Turn off the heat and serve.;
