Kanom Jeeb (Thai Dumplings Recipe)
Description
This Thai dumpling recipe features a filling of ground pork combined with pounded coriander root, garlic, and black peppercorns, imparting distinctive herbal and spicy notes. Golden Mountain Sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar add umami and subtle sweetness, while sesame oil lends aroma.
Finely diced carrots, green onions, and shiitake mushrooms contribute texture and a mild earthiness. Tapioca starch and egg help bind the filling into a smooth, spoonable consistency, which is carefully wrapped in wonton wrappers shaped using a spoon to form uniform dumplings.
The dumplings are steamed in a lined steamer for 10 minutes until cooked through and tender. Often served with soy sauce, sweet chili, or specially made dipping sauces, these dumplings suit as appetizers, snacks, or light meals.
The recipe allows for experimentation with different protein fillings including shrimp, chicken, beef, or vegetarian options to vary flavor and texture.
Ingredients
- 14 ounces ground pork
- 1 egg
- 0.35 ounces coriander root
- 0.18 ounces black peppercorns
- 0.35 ounces garlic
- 1.05 ounce carrot finely diced
- 0.7 ounces green onions finely diced
- 0.35 ounces dried shiitake mushroom finely diced
- 3 tablespoons Golden Mountain Sauce
- 1.5 tablespoon white sugar
- 2.5 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 dumpling wrapper package
- garlic oil to apply a small layer of oil to the wontons
- garlic to taste, for garnishing, crispy fried
- 1.5 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Pound coriander roots, black peppercorns, and garlic with a mortar and pestle.
- Combine golden mountain sauce, white sugar, sesame oil, and oyster sauce in a mixing bowl.
- Add ground pork into a blender or food processor with your sauce mixture, egg, and tapioca starch. Pulse until it reaches a smooth texture that will be easy to spoon into the dumpling wrappers.
- Transfer the ground dumpling filling mixture to a large mixing bowl and thoroughly combine with the crushed spice mixture of step 1 and your finely diced vegetables.
- To easily shape the dumplings, place a wonton wrapper over the concave side of a tablespoon, press gently to create a well, add the filling to the center, lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold the edges up and around the filling, pinching to seal while nestled in the spoon to maintain the perfect shape.
- Prepare your steamer by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Cover and steam over medium heat for 10 minutes until they’re cooked through, and the wrappers are translucent. Enjoy hot.
