Delicious pork and shrimp dumplings are served with noodles and bok choy in a Szechuan-style, spicy sauce. - Cindy Lee Roberts —Cindy Lee Roberts
Test Kitchen Notes
Dumplings and noodles mingling together are such a delight, though this refreshing, spicy sauce -- sort of a loose cilantro and green onion pesto -- would be great on noodles alone, or dumplings alone, or pretty much anything. —Kristen Miglore
Ingredients
- Spicy Sauce
-
1 1/2 tablespoons

2 teaspoons

-
1/3 cup
cilantro, chopped finely
-
1
clove of garlic, minced
- Dumplings, Noodles and Bok Choy
-
1 pound
ground pork
-
1/2 pound
shrimp, headed and peeled, then roughly chopped
-
5
spring onions, finely chopped
-
1/2 inch pieces
of ginger, finely grated
-
3/4 teaspoon
salt
-
1/4 teaspoon
white pepper, ground
-
1 teaspoon
sesame oil
-
1 teaspoon
Chinese cooking wine
-
1 packet
dumpling wrappers
-
6 ounces

-
2 handfuls

Directions
- Spicy Sauce
-
Mix all the sauce ingredients in a medium bowl.
- Dumplings, Noodles and Bok Choy
-
Mix the pork, shrimp, spring onions, ginger, salt, pepper, sesame oil, and wine in a medium bowl.
-
Place about a tablespoon of the dumpling mixture on each wrapper, seal and shape. This makes about 50 dumplings. Freeze the ones you don't use, then you can make this again!
-
Boil a couple of quarts of water in a large pot, throw in the noodles, and cook for two minutes (Note: You may need to adapt the boiling timing, depending on what type of noodles you use -- be sure to consult the suggested time on the package). Now, add about 12 dumplings and continue boiling gently until the dumplings are cooked (about 8 minutes). You can tell by looking at them!
-
Throw in the bok choy, cook for 30 seconds more, then turn off the heat. Drain the noodles, dumplings and bok choy and serve immediately in capacious noodle bowls.
-
Spoon the spicy sauce over the top, mix it all up, garnish with a little cilantro, and serve!
