Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Prepare the All-Purpose Eggless Dough according to the instructions on the referenced page. Do not use store-bought dumpling skins.
-
Step 2.
Prepare the agar-agar broth according to the instructions on the referenced page.
-
Step 3.
Reconstitute the dried shiitake mushrooms according to the instructions on the referenced page (steps 2–3). Reserve the soaking water.
-
Step 4.
While the mushrooms reconstitute, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, preheat 2 tablespoons peanut oil for 1 to 2 minutes until hot. Add both the reconstituted shiitake mushrooms (finely diced) and 1 pound finely diced fresh cremini or button mushrooms. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
-
Step 5.
Add 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine (or sake/dry sherry), and ½ cup of the reserved mushroom water. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pan is fairly dry and the mushrooms are well seasoned.
-
Step 6.
Add 2 to 3 teaspoons sugar, 1 to 3 teaspoons kosher salt, ½ to 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste), 1½ tablespoons toasted sesame oil, 4 to 5 thinly sliced scallions, and 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, until incorporated. Remove from heat and let cool until no longer steaming, stirring occasionally to speed cooling. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
-
Step 7.
If any liquid has sweated out from the chilled mushroom mixture, transfer the agar-agar broth cubes to a fine-mesh sieve and drain for 30 seconds. Add the drained cubes to the chilled mushroom mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
-
Step 8.
Form the dumplings according to the instructions on the referenced page, using the prepared dough and filling.
-
Step 9.
Steam the dumplings according to the instructions on the referenced page.
