In 2017, Chef Chow was awarded Best Female Chef in Asia. She specializes in giving traditional dishes bright new interpretations. At her casual-cool Happy Paradise restaurant in Hong Kong, Chef May Chow loves to reimagine Chinese favorites in fresh ways. Impossible Happy Paradise Xinjiang Dumplings is her plant-based take on the crispy potstickers using Impossible™ Ground Beef Meat From Plants.
What makes a Xinjiang dumpling? Traditionally, they use lamb filling, as well as a blend of spices like cumin and chili powder. They're commonly served with vinegar, which adds a tart contrast to the fatty, savory, and spicy meat. This Impossible-inspired recipe is relatively simple to make, just make the filling, fold the dumplings, and cook. You won't be able to resist these juicy crispy dumplings.

How to prepare

Step 1: MAKE THE SZECHUAN CHILI POWDER

In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients. Set aside.

Step 2: MAKE THE FILLING

In a small skillet over medium-low heat, toast cumin seeds until darkened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer cumin seeds to a cutting board and coarsely chop. In a large bowl, add daikon, green onion, 2 tablespoons of water, and Szechuan chili powder. Whisk to combine. Crumble the Impossible Beef into the bowl. Mix the ingredients together gently with your hands until well combined.

Step 3: WRAP THE DUMPLINGS

Place dumpling wrappers on a work surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of Impossible mixture into the center of dumpling wrapper. Using your finger, rub the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal.

Step 4: COOK THE DUMPLINGS

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add dumplings in a single layer and cook until bottoms begin to brown. Add 1/2 cup water, cover and cook for about 3 minutes; check from time to time and cook until the water has evaporated completely, and the bottoms are crisp and golden brown. It takes about 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining dumplings, adding more vegetable oil as needed.

Step 5: SERVE AND ENJOY

Makes 20 dumplings.
