Pork Dumplings Tips & Tricks:
- When making dumplings dough, add more flour if dough is sticky – 1 tablespoon of flour at a time.
- Pork dumplings are freezer friendly, after making them arrange pelmeni over baking sheet alined with parchment paper, then place them in the freezer for 2 hours. After place frozen dumplings into a zip bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
- My friend likes to cook dumplings in Vegeta seasoned water, she says it gives these dumplings an amazing flavor.
How to Make Pelmeni Dough:
When kneading a dough I like to use stand mixer: into a stand mixer bowl add 3 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt and give it a nice stir. Next, add 1 egg, 1/4 cup avocado oil and 3/4 cup of water. Using a hook attachment, knead on low setting until dough forms about 5-10 minutes.
After, cover the dough with plastic food wrap and let rest for about 15-20 minutes. Now lets make pelmeni filling.
Pork Dumplings Filling:
Into a food processor (I got mine from Costco) add 1 small zucchini and 2 cloves of garlic, pulse until almost pureed.
Then place pureed zucchini with garlic into a mixing bowl with 1 lb ground turkey, 1/2 lb ground pork.
Season with salt and pepper, and give it a good mix with hands (I use gloves when touching raw meat) or a spoon. Dumplings filling is ready to be used.
How to Make Pelmeni (Pork Dumplings):
To make pork dumplings, first divide the dough into 4 balls. Take one dough ball and cover the rest with plastic wrap.
Using hands roll dough between hands to form a long skinny sausage, then cut it into small pieces.
Dust each piece in a little bit of flour, then using a roller pin roll out each piece into a dumpling circles.
After place meat filling onto the center of the dough circle, fold dough in half and pinch with finger tips to seal.
Then bring 2 ends together and press on top of each other to make a dumpling. Repeat, until all dumplings are made.
When half way done, bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
How to Cook Dumplings:
Once water starts boiling carefully add dumplings and bring them to a boil, stirring few times. After water starts boiling, cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until pelmeni cooks thru.
Using a slotted spoon remove dumplings onto a plate and stir in butter, so dumplings don’t stick to each other. Serve with sour cream and black pepper. Enjoy!
