Pork & Chive Dumplings with Black Rice Vinegar Dressing

Pork & Chive Dumplings with Black Rice Vinegar Dressing

Dumplings are just one of life's little joys! Juicy, succulent and full of flavour. If you don't have time to make you're own, these ready-made dumpling are totally delicious and perfect for a quick meal. Simply cook them straight from frozen for 6-7 minutes, toss them in a tasty sauce and enjoy.

We sell a brilliant book by Pippa Middlehurst called 'Dumplings and Noodles' - it's packed full of amazing recipes and cooking techniques and I've pinched an idea for the dumpling dressing from her.

This recipe is almost a complete store cupboard meal but packs so much flavour.

Recipe for Pork & Chive Dumplings with Black Rice Vinegar Dressing
Serves 4

1 x pack of Hong's frozen pork & chive dumplings
For the dressing
4 tablespoons black rice vinegar
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon light soft brown sugar
1 tablespoon Lao Gan Ma Crispy Chilli Oil
3 tablespoons chilli oil
2 teaspoons sesame paste
1 clove garlic, finely grated
To serve
2 spring onions, finely sliced
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
Fresh coriander

1. Bring a large pot of water to the boil.

2. Whilst the water is coming to the boil, in a large bowl (large enough to hold all the cooked dumplings), mix up the dressing ingredients and set to one side.

3. Once the water is boiling, drop in the frozen dumplings. Bring back to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer gently for around 5 minutes.

4. Once the dumplings are cooked, using a slotted spoon, remove from the pot straight into the black rice vinegar dressing. Gently toss them around so that each dumpling is coated with the delicious sauce.

5. Garnish with chopped spring onions, toasted sesame seeds and a little fresh coriander.

Fabada hails from the Asturias region of Northern Spain and is the most heavenly combination of butter beans with pork, smoked chorizo, smoked black pudding and pancetta, cooked in chicken stock with plenty of garlic, onion and a touch of saffron. It's a bit like Spain's answer to Cassoulet and the perfect antidote to cold, wet weather.

An Indonesian street food classic and one of the tastiest dishes on the planet. Chunks of beef gently simmered in coconut milk with lemongrass, galangal, cardamom, cinnamon and lime leaves, the flavour combination is sensational. Unlike many other 'wet' curries, Rendang is cooked until most of the liquid has reduced, concentrating the flavours and making it super tasty.
