Dumplings In A Bowl, All The Great Flavors Without The Work

All The Flavor, None Of The Work

We love to eat dumplings but making them by hand can take a lot of work. I decided to make this dumplings in a bowl dish that gives all the great flavors of dumplings without the work. The beauty of this recipe is that you can use any ground protein, but I prefer to use ground chicken or ground pork. All of the ingredients are easy to find. You can make this dish spicy or mild. The full, printable version of this recipe is posted at the end of this post. I will walk you through a few helpful hints.

Lasagna Noodles Are The Secret Ingredient

The filling for this recipe is a pretty typical dumpling filling recipe. What makes this recipe is easy is using broken boiled lasagna noodles in place of stuffing won ton wrappers. You can use any pasta that you prefer if you don’t happen to have lasagna noodles on hand, but I think the lasagna noodles work best. This way you get those great flavors of dumplings without all of the work of stuffing regular won ton noodles.

Crunch and Spice

While I include ingredients like water chestnuts and peppers, you can use any kind of vegetables you prefer. This recipe can be very versatile based on what veggies you have on hand. I love to use snow peas, I chop them up into smaller bites, but you can use them whole if you prefer. This will save you time during your prep.

Choose Your Toppings

You can see above all the ingredients that I use for this recipe. Use any toppings that you prefer, but I like to top this bowl with. chopped peanuts, green onions and some General Tso’s sauce. For a spicy touch, also add chili peppers or other kinds of nuts. Toasted sesame seeds are also a nice touch. If it is Summer and you have access to fresh basil or fresh mint, these also add great flavor.
