SESAME DUMPLINGS RECIPES

Steps:

• Make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the ground black sesame seeds, powdered sugar and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Roll 1 tablespoon scoops of the mixture into balls. Set aside.
• Make the dough: Add the rice flour to a medium bowl. Gradually add the water and mix with your hands until the dough comes together.
• On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough. Shape into a ball and cut in half. Roll the dough into 2 logs, then cut into about 16 2-3-ounce (55G -85G) portions.
• Flatten a dough portion in your palm and add a sesame ball to the center. Encase the filling with the dough and roll into a ball. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the sugar and osmanthus flower. Drop the dumplings into the boiling water. Gently stir so they don’t stick to the bottom of the pot. Cook until the dumplings float to the surface, then remove from the pot.
• Serve the dumplings in a bowl with the cooking liquid.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then stir in the ginger and cook for 1 minute more. Add the chicken and 6 cups water; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool, then remove the meat from the bones; discard the bones.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the eggs, breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup scallions, sesame seeds and 1 teaspoon salt. Drop 12 heaping tablespoons of the mixture into the simmering broth, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
• Divide the dumplings among 4 soup bowls. Simmer the peas in the broth for 1 minute, then return the chicken to the pot and cook until heated through. Serve in the soup bowls with the dumplings; sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup scallions and the extra sesame seeds on top.
