Dumplings in Pomodoro Sauce

May 26, 2023 · in Dumplings & Bao

A dish initially inspired by Ina Garten's Real Meatballs and Spaghetti Sauce but that went wild and became an Asian Italian American dumpling dish. The filling uses pork and veal and incorporates traditional Italian ingredients like parsley and parmesan but also incorporates flavors from my grandma's pantry like ginger and rice vinegar. It's a combination that offends multiple grandmas but surprisingly works well together. The pomodoro sauce is untraditional in that it is made in a steamer, where the steam tenderizes the tomatoes alongside its seasonings becoming a sauce in a matter of minutes. Dumplings are then steamed directly on top and topped with chili crisp and basil. You can make your own dumplings, or use store bought frozen ones!
