Ingredients
Dumpling Wrappers
- 2 medium zucchini Thinly sliced to make wrappers
Filling
- 1 lb ground pork Can substitute with ground chicken or turkey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce For seasoning
- 1 tsp sriracha Optional, for a spicy kick
- 1 clove garlic Minced, for flavor
- 1 tbsp green onion Chopped, for additional flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Slice the zucchini into paper-thin slices, preferably using a mandoline slicer.
- Salt the zucchini slices and let them sit for about 10 minutes to sweat out excess water.
- Pat the zucchini slices dry with a paper towel.
Filling
- In a bowl, mix the ground pork with soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, and chopped green onion.
- Taste the filling to ensure it's seasoned properly.
Assembly and Cooking
- Stack two slices of zucchini together to create a sturdy wrapper.
- Add a small amount of the pork mixture into the center of the zucchini stack.
- Fold the zucchini over the pork to form a dumpling shape.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil.
- Add the dumplings and cook until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add a splash of water, cover the skillet, and steam for an additional 2-3 minutes to finish cooking the pork.
Notes
Serve immediately for the best crunch. These dumplings can be prepped ahead of time, but should be cooked fresh. Pair with soy sauce and rice vinegar for dipping.
