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

Pork dumpling, gluten-free, China

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

Preparation time 15 mins
Cooking time 40 mins
Rest time 30 mins
Total time 1 hr 25 mins
Difficulty: intermediary
Ingredients
    For the dumpling dough, Banh Cuon style
  • 150 g rice flour
  • 50 g tapioca starch
  • 400 ml of water
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • You can also find a ready-made preparation in Asian stores
    • For the pork stuffing
  • 300 g of minced pork.
  • 2 cloves of garlic, chopped.
  • 1 finely chopped green onion.
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger.
  • 1 tbsp tamari soy sauce (gluten-free)
  • 1 tsp 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
    • To prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine the rice flour, tapioca flour and salt.
    • Gradually add the hot water, mixing with a wooden spoon, until you obtain a homogeneous paste. Add the oil. You should obtain a dough with the texture of pancake batter. 
    • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes
    • Cooking the leaves : Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan. Pour a small ladle of batter and spread quickly to form a small, very thin pancake. Put a lid on and cook for 2 minutes until the foil peels off easily. Repeat the operation until the dough is used up.

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