Dumpling Filling & Wrapper- 8 fresh oysters
- 2 eggs
- 1 green chili pepper (e.g., jalapeño or serrano)
- 4 stalks of scallions (green onions)
Seasoning- Salt to taste
- Pinch of black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Prepare the star ingredient: fresh oysters. Gently clean the oysters by rinsing them in lightly salted water to remove any grit or shell fragments. Using fresh, high-quality oysters will significantly enhance the flavor of your dumplings.
Step 2
2. Prepare the filling ingredients. Finely mince the green chili pepper (remove seeds if you prefer less heat). Chop the scallions (both white and green parts) finely. In a bowl, combine the minced chili pepper and scallions. Crack the 2 eggs into the bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper for seasoning. Whisk everything together gently with a fork or whisk until well combined.
Step 3
3. Now, let’s make the egg wrappers. Lightly grease a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Using a ladle or spoon, pour a thin, round layer of the egg mixture into the pan, similar to making a thin crepe or egg pancake. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning. Aim for a delicate wrapper.
Step 4
4. Before the egg wrapper fully cooks, carefully place one prepared oyster in the center of the cooked egg circle. The oyster will cook within the egg wrapper, adding a delightful texture.
Step 5
5. Gently fold the egg wrapper in half over the oyster, creating a half-moon shape, or fold it into a square to enclose the oyster completely. Ensure the edges are sealed to keep the oyster inside.
Step 6
6. Once shaped, reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook the dumplings for a few minutes on each side until they are golden brown and lightly crisp. Ensure the inside is cooked through without burning the egg wrapper.
Step 7
7. Serve these delicious oyster dumplings immediately. A simple dipping sauce made with soy sauce and a touch of vinegar is perfect. Enjoy the unique combination of the fresh oyster’s briny flavor and the soft, tender egg wrapper. A truly special and easy-to-make treat!
