If you ever have had to change your diet to be gluten-fee, it can feel like you miss out on some of your favorite foods. One of mine is getting delicious dumplings from Chinese takeout, but sadly they are very full of glutenous flour.

Yummy Gluten-Free Dumplings

So after much searching and testing and experimenting I found a way to make my own! They are delicious, comforting and hit the spot when you are in that deep dumpling craving (which I have often).

Dumpling filling

These do take quite a bit of prep work and time, so I suggest grabbing friends or family to bring together to help with the workload. It's actually a really fun activity to do together at a party or family gathering.

And a little Pro-tip with the leftover filling I make fried rice, so it really makes a complete Asian style meal for the whole family or group of friends!

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

Instructions
Dumpling Dough
Whisk the mixture of flours together, then add olive or sesame oil and mix in evenly
Slowly add a little of the boiling water at a time until a dough forms that you can knead a bit with your hands. Be careful it's hot!
Roll the dough out into logs and cut 1 inch medallion size, place into a bowl with a wet towel covering so the dough retains moisture.
Take a dough medallion/ball and place it between two baking sheets. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin (or in my case a round drinking glass or glass jar) in all directions to get a circular flat shaped wrapper.
Set the wrappers on a plate with a wet towel or cloth covering to help retain moisture before assembly.
Dumpling Filling
In a bowl add turkey, diced vegetables, soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, salt & pepper to season
Stir well until mixture holds together firmly. Refrigerate while preparing dumpling wrappers
Dumpling Assembly
Take about 1 teaspoon or 1/2 teaspoon of filling and place in the center of the dumpling wrapper. (Use less than you think, you don't want to over fill or the dumpling will explode)
Fold the wrapper over the filling, start with pinching in the middle and then pinch the dough along the edges until sealed completely. Optional: You can play around with crimping the edges for a more aesthetic look.
Pan Fry/Steam Dumplings
Place a tablespoon of olive or sesame oil in frying pan on a medium high heat. Place dumplings in pan and fry until the bottoms are lightly browned. Add 1/4 cup of water to the pan and immediately cover (be careful as the water may cause the hot oil to splatter). Cook on medium for 8 minutes. After the water has evaporated let them cook for another min or so to get a golden brown color.
Dipping sauce and Serve
Mix all sauce ingredients together, garnish with some scallions and serve!
Tips
  • With leftover filling you can make a delicious fried rice! Take day old rice and fry up together with extra filling. Once its all cooked, make a well in the middle of the pan and crack an egg in the center. Scramble up the egg and mix into the rest of fried rice. A delicious meal all on its own!
