Dumpling Noodle Bowl

Prep Time 15 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients:  

  • 1 pack dumpling wrappers, separated (about 30 sheets)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 1/2 cups green onions, diced
  • 4 tbsp coarse grated ginger
  • 5 cups bok choy, loose chopped or sliced

Sauce

  • 1/3 cup ponzu
  • 4 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp chili crisp
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 3 tbsp soy
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp black vinegar
  • 1 tsp fish sauce

Optional

  • 3 tbsp 3 Tbsp chili garlic sauce or Sambal Oelek

Instructions: 

  • Separate the dumpling wrappers so they are no longer stuck together.
  • If using frozen wrappers, thaw completely according to package directions before separating.
  • Keep the separated wrappers covered with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out while the rest of the dish is prepared
  • Place a large frying pan, deep skillet, or wok over medium to medium-high heat.
  • Add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat briefly.
  • Add the ground pork, diced green onions, and grated ginger to the pan.
  • Cook, breaking up the pork with a spoon or spatula, for about 6–7 minutes, or until the pork is browned and cooked through.
  • Once the pork is cooked, add all of the sauce ingredients to the pan: ponzu, sesame oil, chili crisp, water, soy, sugar, black vinegar, and fish sauce.
  • Stir well to combine the pork and sauce.
  • Add the chopped bok choy (or other Chinese greens) to the pan.
  • Turn the heat down to low and let the mixture gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until the bok choy wilts and becomes tender.
  • While the pork and bok choy mixture simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Once boiling, add the dumpling wrappers one at a time, stirring constantly to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Cook the wrappers for about 2 minutes, or until they are tender and cooked through.
  • Strain the cooked wrappers in a colander and rinse briefly with cold water to stop the cooking and help prevent sticking.
  • Add the cooked dumpling wrappers to the pan with the pork and sauce.
  • Gently toss everything together with a spoon or spatula, taking care not to tear or break the wrappers.
  • Continue to cook on low for 1–2 minutes, just until everything is heated through and well coated in the sauce.
  • Divide the dumpling noodle mixture into bowls.
  • Serve immediately, with chili garlic sauce or Sambal Oelek, sriracha, or a touch of extra black vinegar if desired.
  • Garnish with additional green onions, cilantro, or a wedge of lime, if using.
