Hello everyone! I am THRILLED to be bringing you this dumpling recipe. I have worked on developing an amazing gluten free homemade dumpling recipe for a long while now, and I am SO excited to finally present this one! I used a pork filling and ended up using a dough with egg and all purpose gluten free flour in it. The dough is actually similar to a wonton dough and is SUPER easy to work with! If you’re looking for a dumpling recipe to fry, use this recipe that was published in Gluten Free Living magazine linked below:

About my Gluten Free Pork Dumpling Recipe

The dough for this recipe is easy to work with, as long as you flour the surface enough. The formal typed out recipe is written below, but I recommend reading through this part to get all of the tips you’ll need to make the most successful homemade dumplings ever!

The Dumpling Dough

I make this dough with gluten free all purpose flour, tapioca flour, salt, water, and eggs.

the flour mix and eggs to make the gluten free wonton wrapper

First, whisk together the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients in separate bowls, then stir together with chopsticks until fully combined.

NOTE: You can either use chopsticks to stir the dough together, or you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook. Either way, there will be some dry flour at the bottom of the bowl after the dough is mixed. It’s easy to work this back into the dough just by turning the formed dough around in the bowl with floured hands.

To work with the dough, use 1/4 of it at a time. Overturn it onto a floured surface and roll out until thin. Then, slice into equally sized squares.

NOTE: REALLY make sure your work surface, rolling pin, and dough is well floured. If it isn’t, the dough will stick, the extra flour will mix in, and it will become almost impossible to work with. If you feel the dough sticking, just add more flour.

Stack the wonton/dumpling wrappers under a damp paper towel, and move on to making the filling!

The Pork Filling

This filling is SO delicious and flavorful! It’s filled with tradition Chinese dumpling ingredients, like ginger, scallions, and cabbage, and the perfect amount of gluten free soy sauce!

I use 1 pound of pork for this filling, and it ended up being the perfect amount to fill all of the dumpling wrappers!

the ingredients to make the pork filling

The ingredients in the filling are fairly simple: just gluten free soy sauce, ground pork, freshly grated ginger, sambal paste, scallions, white onion, and cabbage. Essentially, to make the filling, you just mix all of the ingredients together until well combined. Make sure none of the ingredients are all clumped in one spot.

FOLDING

The hardest part of making this recipe is folding the dumplings, but that’s just because it’s tedious!

Here’s a step by step WITH PHOTOS instruction on how to fold homemade dumplings using square wrappers:

step one: the rolled out wonton dumpling wrapper

step two: placing a small amount of filling in the center of the wrapper

NOTE: if the dumpling isn’t sealing properly, wet your fingers before folding. This will help the dough stick to itself!

Here’s the recipe! Thank you all so much for reading this recipe and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!

Ingredients

For the Dough

2 cups (plus extra for rolling the dough) gluten free all purpose flour (I used better batter)
2 tbsp tapioca flour
2 whole eggs
2 egg whites
1/4 cup water
1 tsp salt

For the filling

1 pound ground pork or ground chicken
1/4 cup chopped scallions (about 3 scallions, bias cut)
1/4 cup thinly shaved cabbage (I shave it off of the head myself)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp finely diced white onion
1 tbsp sambal paste or sriracha
1 tsp grated ginger (fresh)

Instructions

Step one: make the dumpling dough. In a large bowl, whisk together the flours and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the water, egg whites, and whole eggs until fully combined.
I like to use chopsticks to make the dough, but you could also use a stand mixer with a dough hook. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture in a large bowl and swirl with chopsticks until fully combined. Once fully homogenous, cut the dough into quarters, and roll out each quarter until at least 1/4 inch thin on a floured surface.
You're going to want to flour the surface and the rolling pin so the dough doesn't stick. Once thin, cut into small 2 inch squares. Stack the squares and cover with a damp paper towel. Set aside and repeat until the rest of the dough is cut up into wrappers.
Step Two: to make the dumpling filling, mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl and set aside to fill the dumplings
To fold the dumplings, add a small spoonful of filling into the middle of the square and fold it in half into a triangle. seal the edges with water and fold the two equal sides of the triangle across to wrap it into a wonton shape. Repeat until all wrappers or filling has been used up.
To cook the dumplings, you can either steam them (I used my ninja foodi) or sautee them by heating up a few tbsp of oil in a pan and cooking until pork is cooked through.
