Best Chinese Egg Dumplings Recipes
WILLIAM CAI'S TOMATO AND EGG JIAOZI (CHINESE DUMPLINGS)
My daughter's Chinese classmate submitted this recipe for the Fourth Grade cookbook. He writes "My Grandma made it for New Year's when I was 8 years old. . . . We gathered at the table and wrestled for dumplings. Oh! It was so good! It was yummy, juicy, and tasty! Delicious! You got to try it!" Jiaozi are a common fast-food lunch in China, sold in garage-sized restaurants along the street. At Chinese New Year, families sit around stuffing dumplings together.

Steps:
- Whisk together the eggs, 2 teaspoons of cornstarch, water, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a bowl, and let stand for 25 minutes.
- Mix the pork, water chestnuts, green onions, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and toasted sesame oil in a bowl, kneading the mixture till well-combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let rest in refrigerator until needed.
- To make wrappers, spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Slowly pour about 1 tablespoon of the egg mixture into the skillet, and tilt the skillet to spread the batter, forming a flat circle about 3 inches in diameter. Let the egg wrapper cook until firm on the bottom but still moist on top, about 1 minute. Stack the finished egg wrappers on a wax-paper-lined plate as you finish them, and let cool.
- Stir together the chicken broth, soy sauce, sherry, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and black pepper in a saucepan, and heat to a simmer over medium-low heat.
- Place about 1 teaspoon of the pork filling into the center of each wrapper, fold the wrapper over to make a half-moon shape, and gently press the wrapper together to seal. Drop the filled dumplings into the seasoned chicken broth and simmer them until the filling is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with broth.
