Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups (500 g) flour, sifted
2 egg whites
1 lb (500 g) lean boneless pork, beef or other meat, diced
5 oz (150 g) cooked meat, diced
3 1/2 tsp
vegetable oil or lard
3 1/2 oz (100 g) canned bamboo

1 tsp shrimp eggs
1 tbsp fresh
ginger, chopped
1 tsp rice wine

to taste
3 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
3 1/2 oz (100
ml)sesame oil
7 oz (200 ml) stock
1 tbsp MSG
(optional)
Directions:
1. Mix flour with egg whites and
water to make a firm dough, following the directions for Recipe 170,
"Sauteed Dumplings, Henan Style." Divide the dough into 50 portions
and each into a circle 5 inches (13 cm) in diameter. Stack 10 fine
pieces, one on top of the other. Flour lightly between each of the
ten pieces. Press the end of the rolling pin into the dough
circularly to make 1 inch (25 mm) long marks, and separate them to
avoid sticking.
2. Heat the oil or
lard in a wok until the oil surface ripples. Add the cooked meat and
bamboo shoots and stir-fry briefly. Add the shrimp eggs, ginger, 1
tsp of the rice wine, 1 tsp of the salt, and 1/2 tsp of the MSG.
Continue to stir-fry 1 minute. Remove and cool. Mix the uncooked
meat with the remaining 1/2 tsp of MSG, 1 tsp of the rice wine, 1
tsp of the salt, soy sauce, sesame oil and a little water. Add the
bamboo shoots and cooked meat. Mix well. Divide the filling into 50
portions.
3. Take a pastry
circle and place 1 portion of the filling in the center. Pull up the
edges of the pastry around the filling to make a cylinder, leaving
the top open so the filling is visible and the dumpling resembles a
pomegranate. repeat until all the dumplings are made.
4. Place the
dumplings in a steamer and steam for 5 minutes over high heat.
Sprinkle with the stock and continue to steam until cooked through.
Remove and
serve.
