Mushroom Dumplings With Hot Mustard Sauce
Serves 10
Ingredients:
2 cups (140 g) minced fresh shiitake mushrooms
3 scallions, white part and 1 inch (2.5 cm) green, minced
1 cup (70 g) minced Napa cabbage
1/4 cup (60 ml) egg substitute
1 1/2 tablespoons (22.5 ml) peeled grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) dark sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) chili and garlic sauce
2 tablespoons (8 g) chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon (15 ml) reduced-sodium soy sauce
30 3-inch (7.5 cm) won ton skins, rounded
Chinese cabbage leaves (if steaming the dumplings)
hot mustard sauce
1/4 cup (35 g) powdered Chinese mustard [I had to substitute plain ground mustard]
1/3 cup (80 ml) water
1/4 cup (60 ml) white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons (45 ml) reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1.In a food processor, put the mushrooms, scallion, cabbage, egg substitute, ginger, sesame oil, chili and garlic sauce, cilantro, and soy sauce. Pulse two or three times until combined, but not a paste.
2.Place a scant tablespoon (15 ml) of mixture on a won ton skin. Moisten half of the rim with water and fold over to cover the filling, forming a half moon shape.
3.Steam or boil the dumplings. If you boil, they are done when they rise to the top of the pot. If you steam them, make sure you place them on cabbage leaves so they do not stick to the steamer. Steaming will take about 8 to 10 minutes.
4.To make the hot mustard sauce, combine all ingredients to make a smooth sauce. Let sit for about 1 hour and serve at room temperature.
5.To serve, place about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the hot mustard sauce on a small plate. Arrange 3 dumplings around the sauce.
My wontons are not pretty!!! They simply look awful but here's an sampling of ways to wrap your wontons to look really nice for boiling or steaming:
