Russell‘s pot sticker recipe her own, then shared it with us. Expect a trusty gluten-free dough and enough fillings and sauces to satisfy all your Far East dumpling cravings in a gluten free way. Try them and you’ll find that gluten free pot stickers can take you around the world.

Considered “pot stickers” whether they’re Chinese, Japanese (gyoza), or Korean (mandu), these Asian dumplings are best when the dough is rolled thin, so be gentle and work on a well-floured surface. (Thicker pot sticker wrappers are also good, just chewier.) Don’t worry if your pleats don’t look as elegant as those shown here: loaded with your filling of choice, steamed then crisped in the pan, and served with a classic sauce, these dumplings will still be the answer to your Asian-food prayers.

GF Soy Sauce Selections
Skip the everyday versions, which contain gluten, to find a brand that’ll safely soy your sauce. Andrea prefers Kikkoman gluten-free soy sauce, found at supermarkets in the international foods aisle, and Yamasa organic tamari, available mostly at Japanese and Chinese markets. San-J, a popular and perfectly acceptable gluten-free option, has a more tart aftertaste.

Gluten-Free Pot Stickers

MAKES 32 POT STICKERS You can refrigerate raw dough in a sealed bag up to 2 hours, while uncooked dumplings can be refrigerated for several hours or frozen in an airtight container or bag up to 1 month.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup, 3-3/8 ounces total weight tapioca starch
  • 1.2 cup plus 2 heaping tablespoons 3-3/8 ounces total weight millet flour
  • 3/4 cup 4-3/8 ounces sweet rice flour (such as Blue Star Mochiko brand), plus more for dusting
  • 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
  • About 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 recipe filling and sauce of choice (below)
  • Canola or other neutral-flavored high-heat oil, for panfrying

Instructions

  • Bring 3/4 cup water to a boil, then let it rest off heat for 1 minute to slightly cool. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the tapioca starch, millet flour, rice flour, and xanthan gum. Stir in the just-boiled water to create a crumbly, moist mixture.
  • Using your hands, work in up to 2 tablespoons cold water until a cohesive, smooth, but still somewhat wet dough forms. Put the dough into a ziplock plastic bag, squeeze out all of the air, and close.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle the parchment with sweet rice flour.
  • Cut the dough into 4 equal portions. Keeping 3 portions sealed in the plastic bag to stay moist, roll 1 portion of the dough into a rope about 1 inch thick, then cut it crosswise into 8 equal pieces.
  • Dust the cut ends with sweet rice flour to prevent sticking. Pat each piece into a small disk. Dust your work surface with sweet rice flour to prevent sticking. With a rolling pin, roll out each disk into a very thin round 4 inches in diameter, dusting the rolling pin along the way.
  • Place about 2 teaspoons of filling in the center of each dough round. Fold the dough over the filling into a half-moon shape and pleat the edges together to close. If the wrapper is too dry to seal, dip a finger in water and lightly wet the edges before sealing. Place the pot stickers on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Repeat, one at a time, with the remaining three dough portions and the filling.
  • Lightly coat a large skillet (preferably nonstick) with oil and warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches, add the pot stickers in one layer to cover the skillet surface. Very carefully, add 1/3 cup water and cover immediately to avoid oil splatter. Lower the heat and simmer 6 to 8 minutes. When the pot stickers begin to sizzle, partially uncover the skillet. When the frying begins to sound like rain, remove the lid. Fry the bottoms until crispy and brown. Transfer to a platter, browned sides up, and cover to keep warm until all of the pot stickers are fried. Serve with your dipping sauce of choice.

Pork and Shrimp Gyoza Filling (Japanese Style)

MAKES 2 CUPS Like most Japanese dumpling fillings, this one includes garlic and pepper to add a little bite.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups lightly packed, finely chopped napa cabbage
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced and crushed into a paste
  • 1 teaspoon grated or 1 tablespoon finely minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, white and green parts, or Chinese chives
  • 6 ounces ground pork, coarsely chopped to loosen
  • 1/3 pound medium shrimp, shelled, deveined, and chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sake
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, toss the cabbage with 1/2 teaspoon salt and let rest for 15 minutes. Drain in a fine-mesh strainer, rinse with water, and drain again. Squeeze the cabbage to remove more moisture.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the cabbage, garlic, ginger, green onions, pork, and shrimp and lightly mash so the ingredients start to form a filling.
  • In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 teaspoon salt, the sugar, pepper, soy sauce, sake, and sesame oil and pour over the cabbage mixture. Stir and fold the mixture until the pork is no longer in large chunks. Briskly stir to blend into a cohesive, thick mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to develop.

GYOZA DIPPING SAUCE

  • MAKES ABOUT 1/2 CUP In a small bowl, stir together 5 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce, 2-1/2tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar, and 1/2 to 1 teaspoon chili oil. Serve with a small side of Japanese hot mustard or Colman’s mustard.

Kimchi Mandu Filling (Korean Style)

MAKES 2 CUPS Nothing says Korean dumplings like a kimchi mandu. This filling can be prepared 1 day in advance, refrigerated in an airtight container, and brought to room temperature before use.

Ingredients

  • 1 zucchini, finely diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1-1/4 cups store-bought or homemade gluten-free kimchi, coarsely chopped
  • Kosher salt
  • 10 ounces firm tofu
  • 2 large green onions, white and green parts, finely chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced and crushed into a paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, toss the zucchini with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a food processor, whirl the kimchi until finely chopped, pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Transfer to a mesh strainer and firmly press with a spatula to remove additional liquid. Place the drained kimchi into a bowl.
  • Drain the zucchini in a mesh strainer, rinse with water, and drain again. Transfer the zucchini to a linen or cotton (not terry cloth) kitchen towel and wring the zucchini in the towel to remove any excess moisture. Add the zucchini to the bowl with the kimchi.
  • Squeeze the tofu in the same kitchen towel over the sink to remove excess moisture. Add the now-crumbled tofu to the kimchi mixture, using the dull edge of a knife or a dough scraper to remove the tofu from the towel, if needed. Add the green onions and garlic and stir to combine. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, the pepper, sugar, and sesame oil and mix well. Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

MANDU DIPPING SAUCE

  • MAKES ABOUT 1/2 CUP In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce, 3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, and any of these optional additions: 2 teaspoons finely minced garlic; 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds; 1 small green onion, white and green parts, thinly sliced; and 1/2 Fresno or jalapeño chile, thinly sliced. Let the sauce rest at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop.

Vegetable Pot Sticker Filling (Chinese Style)

MAKES 2 CUPS Chinese dumpling fillings often have finely chopped seasoned baked tofu, which is found in vacuum-sealed packages near the regular tofu at health foods stores, specialty grocers, and Asian markets. Many are baked with regular soy sauce, which contains gluten, so choose carefully. This filling can be prepared 1 day in advance, refrigerated in an airtight container, and brought to room temperature before use.

Ingredients

  • 4 large dried shiitake mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 8 ounces spinach coarsely chopped
  • Boiling water
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons canola or other neutral-flavored oil
  • 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh ginger
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped carrot
  • 3 ounces 2/3 cup gluten-free seasoned baked tofu, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions white and green parts, or Chinese chives

Instructions

  • Place the mushrooms in a small bowl, pour the warm water over them, and let sit until softened, at least 30 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a cutting board, reserving the soaking liquid. Discard the mushroom stems and chop the caps.
  • Put the spinach in a large heatproof bowl, pour boiling water over the spinach, and let the leaves wilt for 30 seconds. Drain, rinse with cold water, drain again, then squeeze out any excess moisture with your hands.
  • In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of the reserved mushroom soaking liquid, the salt, white pepper, sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Set the sauce aside.
  • In a wok or large skillet over medium heat, warm the canola oil. Add the ginger and stir-fry until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, spinach, carrot, and tofu. Stir to combine and then add the sauce. Stir-fry until a small amount of liquid remains, about 2 minutes. Stir the cornstarch mixture, then add it to the wok. When the mixture thickens, turn off the heat and add the green onions. Cool completely before use.

TANGY SOY DIPPING SAUCE

  • MAKES ABOUT 1/2 CUP Stir together 1/3 cup gluten-free soy sauce, 2-1/2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar, 1/8 teaspoon sugar, and 1 to 3 teaspoons chili oil. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Right before serving, stir in 1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger for extra punch.

Chicken Milanese and Green Salad with Fresh Herb Dressing Gluten-Free Recipe

You can bread and refrigerate the chicken 1 hour ahead of time.
Servings 2
Author Olivia Mack

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free panko breadcrumbs (we like Ian’s brand)
  • 1/4 cup finely ground almonds, almond flour, or almond meal
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, coarsely ground
  • 1/4 cup Italian parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup grapeseed oil or other neutral-flavored oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 small head butter lettuce, coarsely chopped
  • 1 small fennel bulb, cored and very thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 ounces ricotta salata or feta, shaved or crumbled
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  • Working with one breast at a time, place the palm of your hand on top of the breast and, using a sharp knife, carefully halve the breast horizontally, without cutting all the way through, then open the halved breast like a book. Place the butterflied breast between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Pound with the flat side of a meat pounder or rolling pin into a cutlet about ½ inch thick.
  • In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water. In a separate large, shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, ground almonds, salt, fennel seeds, and parsley. Dip each cutlet into the egg and let the excess drip off. Place the cutlet into the breadcrumb mixture, turn, and press the breading into the chicken. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and repeat with the remaining cutlet.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the grapeseed oil until hot, but not smoking. Drop a few breadcrumbs into the oil to test the oil; they should sizzle. Working in batches, place a breaded cutlet into the hot oil and fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes, then carefully flip and repeat on the second side. Transfer to a clean baking sheet and keep warm.
  • In a small saucepan, bring generously salted water to a boil. Add the peas and boil until tender, about 3 minutes for fresh or 30 seconds for frozen. Drain, then rinse under cold water to stop the cooking.
  • In a large salad bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, green onions, and a generous pinch of salt. Add the lettuce, fennel, and mint. Gently toss together and top with the ricotta salata.
  • If the cutlets have cooled too much, reheat them in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes. To serve, place a warm cutlet on a dinner plate and top with a serving of the salad and a lemon wedge.

Kabocha Squash Soufflé https://gffmag.com/kabocha-squash-souffle/ https://gffmag.com/kabocha-squash-souffle/#respond Sat, 23 Nov 2024 20:46:00 +0000 https://gffmag.com/?p=221470 Read More]]> Sometimes called “Japanese pumpkin,” kabocha is a hardy winter squash with low water content and a tough exterior protecting fragrant and sweet deep-orange flesh. You can usually find it at produce markets, but for this savory gluten-free soufflé you can substitute Hubbard, pumpkin, or butternut squash. Be sure to drain the pumpkin or squash puree in a cheesecloth- or paper towel–lined strainer for 30 minutes before using.

Kabocha Squash Soufflé

Servings 6
Calories 247kcal
Author Harriet Trezevant

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups whole milk
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 3 1/2-inch slices white onion
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup Roasted, Pureed Kabocha Squash (recipe below), drained at least 30 minutes
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 3 tablespoons white rice flour
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground sage, or 1 teaspoon minced fresh sage leaves
  • 6 egg whites, at room temperature

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, bring the milk, thyme, onion, and cloves to a simmer. Turn off the heat and let steep for 15 minutes
  • Butter a 12-cup gratin dish or a 10-cup soufflé dish, which is traditionally deeper (a wider dish will rise less but will cook faster). Sprinkle the Parmesan along the inner sides of the dish.
  • Place the drained squash in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper, being aware that the Gruyère will also add saltiness. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, making sure it doesn’t brown. Whisk in the rice flour and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the mixture begins to turn golden brown.
  • Strain the milk, discarding the solids, whisk into the flour mixture, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture just begins to thicken, about 1 minute. Pour into the bowl of squash and mix well. Slowly add the egg yolks, two at a time, stirring constantly. Add the Gruyère and sage and mix well.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or by hand, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the squash mixture in thirds, making sure the whites are fully incorporated and no white streaks remain. Pour into the prepared dish.
  • Place the dish in the center of the oven, immediately lower the temperature to 375°F, and bake until the soufflé is golden brown on top and firm around the sides, about 30 minutes.
  • If you want a more solid center or you’re using a deeper dish, bake for about 5 minutes longer. Try to keep the oven door closed to allow the soufflé to rise to its full potential. Serve immediately.

Roasted, Pureed Kabocha Squash

MAKES ABOUT 3 CUPS Along with soufflés, this squash is great in soups, cakes, and pies and makes excellent baby food, too.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium kabocha squash (about 3 pounds)
  • Safflower oil or canola oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and stringy flesh. Lightly brush the cut sides with oil, place cutside down on a rimmed baking sheet, and roast until the flesh is soft and easily pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes. Let rest on the baking sheet until cool enough to handle. Using a metal soupspoon, scoop out the flesh and place it in a food processor. Puree until completely smooth.
  • To use the puree in the Kabocha Squash Soufflé, drain the pureed squash in a cheesecloth- or paper towel–lined colander or a very fine mesh strainer for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour to release excess liquid before using.

Pink Paloma Cocktail https://gffmag.com/pink-paloma-cocktail/ https://gffmag.com/pink-paloma-cocktail/#respond Tue, 21 May 2024 22:48:00 +0000 https://gffmag.com/?p=226905 The Paloma, a vibrant tequila-based drink, is a Mexican staple perfect for any warm-weather occasion. Its name translates to “dove” in Spanish, hinting at its light and refreshing character. This crowd-pleasing gluten-free cocktail is a beautiful balance of tangy citrus and sweet grapefruit flavors, leaving you feeling cool and satisfied after every sip.

Traditionally made with tequila, grapefruit soda, lime juice, and a pinch of salt, the paloma offers endless possibilities for customization. Experiment with different tequilas, grapefruit sodas, and sweeteners to create your perfect version. Like what? Try these:

Fruity Twists: Swap grapefruit soda for other fruit sodas or juices like pineapple, blood orange, or even guava! For a more natural touch, use fresh-squeezed juices and adjust the sweetness with a touch of simple syrup.

Spicy Paloma: Add a kick to your gluten-free Paloma with muddled jalapeño slices or a splash of your favorite gluten-free hot sauce. 

Smoky Paloma: For a deeper flavor profile, substitute naturally smoky mezcal for tequila. Gluten-free Ancho Reyes liqueur, a chile-infused poblano liqueur, can also add a subtle smoky layer.

Herbal Paloma: For a refreshing twist, muddle a few mint or rosemary leaves in your shaker for a touch of herbal intrigue.

So, grab your favorite highball glass, gather a few simple ingredients, and get ready to experience the magic of the Paloma!

But it’s still wonderfully textured and flavorful, thanks to its citrusy fish-sauce dressing, mélange of veggies, haiga rice (a short-grain, white Japanese rice with its nutritious germ still attached, available at Asian markets and health foods stores), and amaranth (a nutrient-rich ancient grain).

Servings 4
Author Niki Ford

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons amaranth
  • 1 cup haiga rice or short-grain Japanese rice, rinsed several times in cold water
  • 2- inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and lightly smashed
  • 1-1/2 bunches Swiss chard, center ribs removed and leaves coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fish sauce
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 small clove garlic, pounded, very thinly sliced, or pressed into a paste
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 bird’s-eye chile or serrano chile, very thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  • Using a mallet or the back of a frying pan, whack the thick part of the chicken breast once or twice to make the meat approximately the same thickness all around. Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon salt and let them sit for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  • Put the amaranth and rice into a small saucepan with a lid. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1-1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, turn the heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff and keep warm.
  • Bring 6 cups water and the ginger to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Add the chicken breasts, turn off the heat, stir, cover, and poach the chicken breasts in the hot liquid until just firm, yet springy to the touch, 12 to 15 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup poaching liquid from the pan. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and slice each chicken breast into 8 pieces.
  • Return the remaining poaching liquid to a boil and blanch the chard until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, 1/4 cup water, the lime juice, garlic, and honey. Whisk in the reserved poaching liquid.
  • To assemble, divide the amaranth rice among four wide and shallow bowls. Top each with chard, 6 chicken pieces, chile and cucumber slices, and cilantro and mint leaves. Drizzle each bowl with the citronette dressing and serve.
