Cook this: Three Sisters dumplings from Double Awesome Chinese Food

Our cookbook of the week is Double Awesome Chinese Food by siblings Margaret, Irene and Andrew Li. Tomorrow, we’ll feature an interview with one of the authors.

“It’s very untraditional, but it’s also easy,” says Mei of the vegan offering. “Whenever I’m having a dumpling party, I usually do those two together because then it’s flexible for all eaters and you also have options for whichever one you want to have people make.” Step 3Make the Filling: Combine the beans, corn, thyme, and garlic in a medium bowl. Add the reserved 1 cup squash, the oil, and salt and mix thoroughly. Taste for seasoning, then follow the instructions for rolling and cooking dumplings .Note: We make this with a whole butternut squash. Once a cup has been set aside for the dumplings , cut the remaining squash into chunks for the Wheat Berry Salad or the Farmers’ Market Fried Rice .

Step 1Whisk together all the ingredients in a bowl. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.Notes: Consider this basic dumpling sauce a starting point for the sauce of your dreams. Our mom, who eats a low-sodium diet, leaves out the soy sauce in favour of some water and a pinch of sugar. If you have very fatty, meaty dumplings, try increasing the amount of black vinegar. If you like it spicy, add in more chili sauce or sriracha or the hot sauce of your choice.

Step 3Fold the wrapper in half into a taco shape and, starting from the right side, pinch the wrapper shut. If you’re using store-bought wrappers, set up a small bowl of water to help seal the wrappers. Dip a finger into the water and smear it around the edge of each wrapper before you fold so the dough sticks when you pinch it shut. After each pinch, fold the side farthest from you into a pleat towards the pinched end and press it back together.

Step 2Find a large skillet for which you have a lid. Coat the bottom of the skillet with a layer of neutral oil and heat over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmery, carefully fill the pan with a single layer of dumplings , leaving a bit of room between each one. Cook for 2-4 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown – you can pick one up to check.
