Bay Scallop and Flounder Dumpling Soup

BAY SCALLOP & FLOUNDER DUMPLING SOUP πŸ₯Ÿ

This recipe is from Aliya Zarei as part of the Massachusetts Seafood Amabassador Program


Yields 30-34 dumplings
Time: 2hrs

DUMPLINGS
Dumpling wrapper
150gm bay scallops
1pc of flounder fillet
1 stalk of scallions
4pcs of dried shiitake (soaked in hot water)
Few pcs of bamboo shoots
1tbs low sodium soy sauce
1tbs rice wine/dry sherry or 1/4ts chicken bouillon powder
1tsp sesame oil
1tbs corn starch
1ts grated ginger
Salt & white pepper

BROTH (bring everything to boil and let all the flavors infuse, scoop all herbs out before serving)
1L chicken stock (I used homemade, but store bought is fine too)
1tbs light soy sauce
3 thin slices of ginger
3 stalks of scallions
Salt to taste
Chopped scallions for serving

Others (optional): veggie of choice, noodles, crispy garlic, pickled radish, chili crisp

Dumpling methods:
- mix soy sauce, rice wine, grated ginger, sesame oil and corn starch
- chop or grind other ingredients and pour them into sauce mix. Cover and let sit in the fridge for 1 hour
- lay out dumpling wrapper on damp paper or kitchen towel
- place a teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper
- dip your fingers into a bowl of water, rub outer edges
- fold into half and press the edges to seal in the filling, and then create a few pleats along the sealed edges
- in a pot, bring water to a boil and carefully place dumplings into boiling water. Let cook for a few minutes until cooked through and slightly translucent (Boil or steam dumplings, noodles and veggies in a separate pot, not in the broth)
- add cooked dumplings into a hot bowl of broth with noodles, veggie and scallions

Tips: having dumpling wrapper on damp surface prevents it from drying. It’s much easier to make dumplings with wet fingers.
