Malfatti (Spinach and Ricotta Gnocchi) with Bolognese

Malfatti with Bolognese

Posted on July 14, 2011 by Angela| 2 Comments

When I decided to do a collection of gnocchi recipes for my first whirl with The Daring Kitchen, I knew my malfati would be on the list. In doing research for the dishes, I found the internet (all of 4 years later) abuzz with talk of malfatti. Apparently, it’s one of many names for spinach and ricotta gnocchi, to include ravioli nudi and topini verdi. Continue reading →

In Chinese, wonton means “swallowing a cloud” – easily the perfect descriptor for a soup that is both complex and delicate at the same time.Given that leftover dumpling filling does not tend to keep very well (overnight at best, and never defrosted from frozen), I have found a quick and easy solution with wontons.

The beauty of this recipe is in the simplicity – garlic chives and sesame oil do all of the heavy lifting seasoning the ground pork. This is the kind of cooking that is rooted in love – you make these dumplings for people that you care for, and hopefully have them join you in the effort. Continue reading →

I came across this recipe the other day in finding a cheaper way to nosh on the addictive Crystal Shrimp Dumplings from China Fun here in the city – the darn things are so delicious that when I eat them piping hot, the filling all falls out for lack of letting them sit and chill. Waiting is overrated. Continue reading →

Pan-Fried Pork and Chive Dumplings (Jiao Zi)

Posted on May 28, 2010 by Angela| 1 Comment

The best part of this recipe, and all homemade dumplings, is that the quality is much higher than what you’ll find at restaurants and dumpling joints. You control exactly what is added to the little delicacies, and you still end up keeping the price down. Fresh ingredients at a low price is a hard thing to come by these days, so definitely celebrate a little when you tuck into a plate of these bad boys. Continue reading →

Vegetarian, vegan or no, give these dumplings a whirl. If you make them at the same time as the chicken or pork versions, not only will you have a veritable dim sum spread in front of you, you’ll be winning the favor of your non-meat eating friends. And friends are a good thing, I hear ;) Continue reading →

You know I love you guys. And I have no problem with your dietary restrictions – I still want to fill your belly. Which is why, if you are not fine with swine, I am posting this lovely recipe for chicken dumplings. I call for no less than 4 types of pepper in these, so skip the chili oil and Sriracha (thai chili sauce) if you want it less piquant. If you aren’t down with meat of any kind, check out this recipe for Vegan Dumplings. Continue reading →

In celebration of Chinese New Year (heck yeah, tigre!), my sister-in-law and I got to work prepping, boiling and crisping up a serious pile of dumpling deliciousness. We’re going to call our new business Kitty Yum-Yum’s Dumpling Emporium. What? Is that name taken already? Continue reading →
