One of my favorite types of recipes are what I call “Heirloom Recipes”. Recipes that are passed down from one generation to the next. When Chateau Dumplings reached out to me to possibly partner, I immediately said yes. My family has been making a “Heirloom Recipe” using these dumplings for years. I will post it soon, but to give a quick description, it was a Roast Pork with mushroom gravy, on top of a Chateau Dumpling and topped with Red Cabbage. My family and I LOVE it.
For my partnership with Chateau, I wanted to give this heirloom recipe a modern day makeover. I came up with this play on my family’s classic pork recipe. I created an Asian Inspired Broth using pork belly, cabbage and mushrooms and incorporated Chateau’s new mini potato dumplings that come frozen and in a resealable bag. You can find the recipe for this dish below. I used an instant pot for this recipe, but you can adjust it if you are preparing it on a stove top.
Dumplings with Pork Belly Broth
Ingredients
2lbs Of Thin Sliced Pork Belly
2 C Sliced Mushrooms
4 to 6 Large Bok Choy Leaves
4 to 6 Pieces of Ginger, Not Peeled
1/2 C Garlic Chives Minced
2 C Shredded Purple Cabbage
2 to 3 Baby Bok Choy
1 C Sliced Scallion
Handful of Sprouts
4 C Mushroom Broth
4 T Gochujang Paste
2 T Vegetable Oil
*I used my Instant Pot for this recipe. Adjustments for a stove top method will be included.
- Heat oil in a cast iron skillet, sear both sides of the pork belly for 5 minutes each side.
- Remove pork belly from skillet and quickly sauté mushrooms, half the scallions, and Chives. Add the Gochujang paste and sauté a bit longer.
- Add the meat, scallions mixture and the large box choy leaves to your instant pot. (If making on a stove top add all this to a stock pot)
- Add the mushroom broth, cover and set to stew setting for 30 minutes on high. (If using stove top method, simmer on low for four hours)
- Meanwhile bring a pot of salted water to boil, add dumplings, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 min. Drain dumplings.
- In a bowl, add some of the dumplings, baby Bok Choy, Sprouts, purple cabbage, scallions and a little bit of the Gochujang Paste.
- Release the steam on the instant pot, strain the broth and add the broth to the bowl with the dumplings and veggies.
- Enjoy!!!
