Gluten-free pork dumplings for Chinese New Year, Banh Cuon style.

Pork dumpling, gluten-free, China

These pork dumplings, shaped like gold bars, symbolize wealth and prosperity. They are often prepared as a family activity, strengthening the bonds between generations. I admit I have a little trouble adapting them to gluten-free diets, so this time I decided to make them with Banh Cuon dough (Vietnamese dumplings): these dumplings are just as delicious as their classic counterparts.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time 40 minutes
Rest time: 30 minutes
Total time 1 hour 25 minutes
Difficulty: Intermediate
Special diet: suitable for gluten-free diet
Ingredients
    For the dumpling dough, Banh Cuon style
  • 150g of rice flour
  • 50g of tapioca starch
  • 400 ml of water
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of neutral oil
  • You can also find ready-made preparations in Asian stores
    • For the pork stuffing
  • 300g of minced pork.
  • 2 cloves of chopped garlic.
  • 1 finely chopped green onion.
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger.
  • 1 tbsp tamari soy sauce (gluten-free)
  • 1 tsp of sesame oil.
  • 1 pinch of salt.
  • 1 pinch of white pepper.
    • For the sauce
  • 2 tbsp tamari soy sauce.
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar.
  • A few drops of chili oil (optional)
Preparation
  1. 1
    1- Prepare the dough
    • Dough preparation: In a large bowl, mix the rice flour, tapioca flour and salt.
    • Gradually add the hot water, stirring with a wooden spoon, until you obtain a smooth batter. Add the oil. The batter should have the consistency of pancake batter. 
    • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes
    • Cooking the sheets : Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan. Pour in a small ladleful of batter and quickly spread it to form a very thin pancake. Cover and cook for 2 minutes, or until the sheet easily releases from the pan. Repeat until all the batter is used.

    3. Shape the dumplings
    • Place a tablespoon of stuffing in the center of each circle.
    • Fold the circle into a crepe shape. Since the crepe is pre-cooked, it will be difficult to shape true dumplings.
