Free to be Me!

I'm finally cutting the recipe following umbilical cord!
It all started because I picked up a package of dumpling wrappers in the Korean market. After looking at the package in the fridge for two weeks I decided I just had to use them. Checked through several recipes and just didn't have all the ingredients I needed, so I decided to invent. Wound up sautéing the following chopped ingredients: cabbage, chicken tender, ginger, green onions and garlic, to which I added a little sugar, drizzle of mirin, sesame oil and soy sauce. Then put a spoonful of the mix into the middle of the dumpling skin (which I often see in my supermarket as well as the Korean market), pressed it closed with a dumpling press and fried it in about an inch of canola oil in my wok. Served with both Thai Chili Sauce and/or a dip of soy sauce, rice vinegar and a bit of sugar. (The Food Saver has nothing to do with the dumplings. It just sits there on the counter.) Be adventurous. Experiment with your food. You never know what you'll come up with!

What a great combination for the dumpling wrappers! I can imagine this came out like a great fried stuffed wonton with all those great ingredients. I am really hooked on that Sweet Chili Sauce!

Wow... I bet they were great, they sure sound good. Me I experiment with my food too ! Today, instead of peanut butter and jam, I dared trying peanut butter and... caramel ! LOl
I like yours better Isabel.
