Prep time: 45 min

Cook time: 45 min

Servings: 4 to 6

Ingredients

CURRIED BROTH
6 CUPS vegetable stock
2 TBSP. soy sauce, or to taste
2 TBSP. lime juice
1 TBSP. palm sugar OR raw cane sugar
1 TSP. ARVINDA’S CURRY POWDER
2 dried red chilies
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1-INCH piece ginger, finely shredded
DUMPLINGS FILLING:
1 TBSP. oil
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
¼ LB. ground pork OR vegetarian ‘ground round’
2 TSP. ARVINDA’S CHINESE FIVE SPICE
2 TSP. sesame seeds
2 TSP. soy sauce, or to taste
1 TSP. rice wine vinegar
1 CUP finely shredded red cabbage
¼ CUP finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 TSP. sesame oil
1 TSP. rice wine vinegar
24 dumpling wrappers
all-purpose flour, for dusting

Instructions

1. CURRIED BROTH: In a large pot, add the stock, soy sauce, lime, sugar and ARVINDA’S CURRY POWDER and simmer on medium heat. Add the chilies, garlic and ginger and continue to simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, then set aside.

2. DUMPLINGS FILLING: In a large non-stick skillet, heat the oil on medium-high and fry the garlic until it becomes fragrant. Add the pork or veggie ‘ground round’ and season with ARVINDA’S CHINESE FIVE SPICE. Add in the sesame, soy sauce and vinegar and mix to combine. Fold in the cabbage and cilantro and stir fry for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is well cooked. Remove off the heat and cool to room temperature.

3. Place a dumpling wrapper on a well-floured surface. Moisten the edges with a little water and place 1 tablespoon amount of filling in the center. Fold over and create pinches to seal the dumpling into a half moon shape, or a parcel. Continue with the rest of the dumplings.

4. Gently place the dumplings into the Curried Broth and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until the dumplings are cooked. If the broth has reduced, you can add a little extra water to thin it out.
