Rice Cooker
Steamed Asian Dumplings
Delicate steamed dumplings with pork and ginger filling, made easy with your Culivaro rice cooker steamer. The gentle, even steam keeps the wrappers silky and the filling juicy.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork (or chicken)
- 2 cups finely chopped napa cabbage
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1 pack round dumpling wrappers (about 30)
- Water for steaming
- Dipping sauce: soy sauce + rice vinegar + chili oil
Instructions
- Make the filling: Combine pork, cabbage, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper in a bowl. Mix in one direction until sticky and well combined.
- Fill the wrappers: Place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold, and pleat to seal tightly.
- Set up the steamer: Add 1 cup of water to your Culivaro rice cooker and place the steamer basket inside with the dumplings arranged in a single layer.
- Steam: Close the lid and cook on the steam setting for 12–15 minutes, until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.
- Serve: Serve hot with a dipping sauce of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil. Garnish with extra green onions.
Pro tip: Keep the dumplings from touching in the basket — they'll stick together as they steam. Line the basket with parchment or lightly oiled lettuce leaves to prevent sticking.
