Big hugs. If you're up for a bit of a project, and you want to make something to lift the spirits, this is where you need to land. A few of you asked about these dumplings when I posted a snapshot of them to Instagram a couple of weeks back. They were a Friday night project after a busy week. Instead of going out, an evening of repetitive filling and folding sounded perfect. The filling was inspired strictly by the contents of the refrigerator, as a trip to the store would have defeated the entire purpose :) The filling: caramelized leeks, green curry paste, and cooked mung beans. Everything is thinned with coconut milk and then mashed and smashed a bit. I rolled out fresh dumpling wrappers (which we've talked about before), and decided on folding them into big hugs. Because really, who can resist a dumpling filled with green curry spiked deliciousness folded into big hugs?
I ended up loving the filling, and even made a second batch to share with friends. The extras froze beautifully and are great for quick weeknight meals. You forget just how long they take to make. Laugh/cry. It's not actually that bad if you're using store-bought wrappers.
Also, as a side note, I made the wrappers with a blend of unbleached all-purpose flour combined with whole wheat pastry flour - 7 ounces apf + 3 ounces wwp. Turned out great.
