Raymon Kim's Chives Dumplings

For holidays or special occasions, use tofu with all moisture fully removed, filled with starch and egg to create dumplings that don't burst—delicate, savory, and rich in flavor.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Cooking tips

  • When pressing moisture out of tofu, place it on a colander and lightly sprinkle salt—osmotic pressure will help draw out moisture much faster.
  • Adding starch powder to the filling helps absorb moisture released from vegetables during cooking, preventing the dumplings from becoming soggy or bursting.
  • Before shaping full dumplings, make a small ball of filling, roll it in starch powder, and briefly cook it—this allows you to taste and adjust seasoning even without dumpling skins.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make dumplings together with family and create warm, memorable moments.
  • Those who want to learn the classic method for making succulent, non-bursting pork and chive dumplings with a delicate, rich flavor.
