Hi guys! I'm Seonkyoung Longest!
Welcome to my cooking channel (food channel)!
Looking for recipes for appetizers? Here is a perfect appetizer for you!
In this video I'm going to show you how to make delicious fried dumplings serve with refreshing cilantro salad! You had dumplings many many times, but you never had dumplings like this! So delicious!
I have no idea where this idea came from, because I made this dish just because I had a pack of ground pork and dumpling wrappers.
Anyways, I would name this dish,
"Fried Dumplings with Cilantro Salad"
The idea of mine was; spicy, sweet but VERY VERY refreshing dumpling dish.
So I made a sauce, and tried one. It wasn't refreshing enough.
I added more fresh stuff, and tried again. But it still wasn't there.
In my head, all it needed was more freshness, more herb.
And I thought, "Go big or go home!" lol
So instead of "Dumplings and Dipping Sauce",
I deiced to toss the dumplings with lots lots lots of cilantro and almost vinaigrette like sauce.
And guess what?!
OMG, it was KILLER!!!
We just loved it so much!!!
Meaty, crispy and lots of flavor from dumplings.
Sweet, sour and spicy pineapple sauce with a lot of fresh cilantro.
It was so good, we couldn't stop eating it!!
