Hi! Do you mean what type of sauce or do you mean what other foods?

What type of sauce. I've only had them a couple of times and they were just served with a little cup of soy sauce. I'm going to pick some up and was thinking of making up a sweet and sour sauce to dip them in.

This of course may not be what happened, but beware of the following: When you have two dissimilar metals in an electrolytic solution (acidic/basic), instant electrodeposition/electroplating/galvanic corrosion/tarnishing can occur. dcarch

Recipes for dumpling wrappers?
Q
Comments (8)
dumpling wrappers, potstickers, dim sum, and wontons are not synonymous. Dumpling wrappers, almost always round but occasionally square, are thicker than wonton wrappers, which are always square. potstickers are dumpling wrappers filled with a rich filling, folded over and pinched and then cooked in a very special way -- they are put onto a hot pan with a bit of oil, seared to brown and then covered in a bit of liquid to braise under a cover until the liquid is all gone and the dumplings literally "stick" to the pot. dim sum is a collective phrase for a great many "appetizer-like" foods, some of which are "dumplings" but not exactly the kind of dumplings made with dumpling wrappers. wontons refers to the thin square wrappers or to the wrapper with filling. They can be small or large and they can be boiled/steamed or deep-fried. The extra large ones are best truly steamed over gentle heat. For deep-frying, the smaller, the better. Here's my favorite "dumpling filling" recipe to put into wontons or dumpling wrappers (given to me by a little Chinese grandmother about 25 years ago in L.A.; true): DUMPLING FILLING Makes 12 to 24 1 pound ground pork -- shoulder 1/4 pound shrimp -- finely chopped 1 small bok choy -- chopped 1 egg 1 teaspoon cornstarch salt -- to taste 1/2 teaspoon sugar 2 tablespoons sesame oil 1 tablespoon water 1 teaspoon ginger root -- grated 2 stalks green onion -- chopped Chop bok choy coarsely and cook in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain by placing in cheese cloth and squeezing out all water. Chop finely. Combine pork, shrimp, egg, cornstarch, salt, sugar, sesame oil, water, and ginger. Mix well. Add bok choy and chopped green onions. Put small teaspoon-fulls into won ton wrappers or larger tablespoon-fulls into dumpling wrappers. Boil them gently in water or chicken stock until floating. Dumplings can be boiled (steamed) or braised (fried). Or you can freeze them stuffed raw for later use. Joe

Mashed BN also works anywhere you'd normally use pumpkin - pies, muffins, cookies, quick breads, yeast breads. It's also a yummy & nutritional addition to Indian Pudding seasoned as for pumpkin pie. We also love BN ravioli tossed in browned butter w/sage. Lucky you. We love BN squash. Ours won't be ready for another few weeks. /tricia

Sweet and sour sauce with potstickers -- BLECcchhh!

Authentically, potstickers are served with soy sauce, chili oil and rice wine vinegar that's been flavored with shredded gingerroot.

The idea is to put a good splash of soy sauce on your plate, dribble in a little chili oil (to taste) and vinegar (to taste). Then dip the potsticker into the "custom" sauce.

Many Chinese restaurants do the work for you, blending the three ingredients in a bowl beforehand. Some throw in a little sesame oil (which I love and I do at home) and some chopped ginger.

Of course all of this goes well with potstickers that have been made with pork. If you have veggie potstickers or chicken potstickers, maybe other flavors would suit you. I frequently do shrimp-pork potstickers.

I use this for pot stickers and shu mai. Fast, easy, a tastes great:

2 cloves garlic, minced.
1/4 C. water
1/4 C seasoned rice vinegar
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
green onion, chopped (optional)

Mix all ingredients. With equal parts liquid, you can make any amount you need, just adjust up the garlic.

It's very traditional to do as Joe describes with the three little dishes of soy sauce, vinegar and chile oil.

I make one similiar to Sue's but use ginger instead of garlic.

A Thai style chile sauce would be tasty too.
