Short Rib Dumpling Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Short Rib Filling

   Season the short ribs with salt and black pepper. Sear in a hot pan until browned on all sides. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened. Cover and braise in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for 3 hours until tender. Shred the meat and mix it with the cooking juices.

2. 2

   Make the Mushroom Dashi

   In a pot, combine dried shiitake mushrooms, kombu, and water. Bring to a simmer and let it steep for 30 minutes. Strain and set aside.

3. 3

   Caramelize the Onions

   In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with brown sugar and continue cooking until caramelized, about 20 more minutes.

4. 4

   Pickle the Serrano Peppers

   In a saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil and pour over sliced serrano peppers in a jar. Allow to cool and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

5. 5

   Assemble the Dumplings

   Place a small spoonful of the short rib filling onto the center of each dumpling wrapper. Fold and seal the edges tightly. Steam or boil the dumplings for about 6-8 minutes until cooked through.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the dumplings in bowls with mushroom dashi, topped with caramelized onions and pickled serrano peppers.
