Chinese Dumpling Tacos

[BBQ Bacon]

Saw this recently so we had to give it a try. Make up your favorite filling for the Chinese dumplings and get the dumpling wrappers and start cooking. Smash the filling onto the wrappers and get onto your griddle.

Cook until the meat is well caramelized then flip. Please note that the filling is very loose on the meat so it may slip off but wasn't a huge problem.

The original video said to add a little water to steam them but we found this was not necessary as the fat from the pork helps to cook the other side. Doesn't take long either.

Top with chili crisp or your favorite hot chili oil and fold like a taco and eat.

No need to fart around filling, pinching closed and frying. Faster and just as good.

I don't see pics or a link to video if one is posted, but I like to make buffalo chicken as well as crab wontons and such, so this may be an easier option for the wife who hates to make them, even though she is Asian and her mom makes them all the time...

Having recently spent a few hours filling, closing and pinching, I like this very much. Of course we probably couldn't plop these in the freezer like the others.

Looks great! Do the wrappers get gummy at all?

Not that we noticed, even reheating in the oven today for lunch. They got a little crispy around the edges. Delicious.
