Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 5 servings

  • 1 pound ground pork

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • ½ bunch cilantro, chopped

  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • 2 teaspoons red curry paste

  • ½ teaspoon garam masala

  • ½ teaspoon chili powder

  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup water as needed

  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter

  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Combine pork, onion, cilantro, red pepper flakes, red curry paste, garam masala, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder in a bowl; mix well and set aside.

  2. Place flour into a separate bowl. Slowly stir in water as needed until a soft dough is achieved; some water may be left over. Roll out walnut-sized balls of dough into thin circles for wrappers.

  3. Fill each wrapper with about 1 tablespoon pork mixture. Moisten the edges of wrapper, then fold in half, sealing to create a half-moon shape. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

  4. Place dumplings in a steamer over 1-inch boiling water and cover. Steam until dough becomes glossy, about 10 minutes.

  5. Combine peanut butter, cayenne pepper, sugar, and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl. Cook in the microwave on high for 30 seconds; stir. Serve with dumplings.
