This is the first recipe I made up all on my own with inspiration from a sweet potato dumpling appetizer I had at a nearby restaurant.

Time 1h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 sweet potatoes, peeled
1 pound chorizo sausage
½ cup grated Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers
1 cup peach jam
1 cup sweet Thai chili sauce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chorizo in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool.
  • Drain sweet potatoes, mash, and let cool until safe to handle, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Combine mashed sweet potatoes, chorizo, Cheddar cheese, and cilantro to make the filling. Set up a prep area for dumplings, including a tray to cool them on and a bowl of water to fasten them.
  • Place 2 teaspoons of filling onto a wonton wrapper, wet the outside edge, and seal. Place dumpling on the tray. Repeat with remaining filling and wonton wrappers. Refrigerate dumplings for 30 minutes before sealing in a zip-top bag to freeze.
  • Combine peach jam, Thai chili sauce, and cilantro to make the dipping sauce.
  • To cook the dumplings from frozen, first heat oil in a pan over medium- to medium-high heat. Add dumplings and a little water; pan-fry until heated through, 10 to 12 minutes.
