Description

These Speedy Dumpling Stuffed Flatbreads are a fun and flavorful mash-up of juicy dumpling filling packed inside golden, crispy flatbreads. They’re quick to whip up and make a perfect snack, lunch, or party appetizer. Think of it as dumpling magic—minus the folding!


Ingredients

For the filling:

  • 1/2 pound ground pork (or chicken)

  • 1 cup finely chopped napa cabbage

  • 2 green onions, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

For the dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3/4 cup hot water

  • 1 tablespoon oil (for the dough)

  • Extra oil for cooking


Instructions

  1. Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and hot water. Stir until a shaggy dough forms. Add oil and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.

  2. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine ground meat, cabbage, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, salt, and white pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

  3. Shape the flatbreads: Divide the dough into 4–6 equal balls. Roll each ball into a small circle. Spoon a portion of the filling into the center, then fold the edges over the filling, pinching to seal. Flatten gently with your hands.

  4. Cook: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Place stuffed flatbreads seam-side down. Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp and the filling is cooked through.

  5. Serve: Let cool slightly before slicing or serving whole. Serve with soy sauce or chili oil for dipping.


Notes

  • You can use pre-made dumpling filling or even leftover dumplings.

  • Swap pork for plant-based ground meat to make it vegetarian.

  • For extra crispiness, add a splash of water and cover the pan while cooking the first side.
