Mango Potstickers

I received a new cookbook last year from a good friend. It is called the Steamy kitchen cookbook by Jaden Hair. 
I must say it only took my a year to finally get a chance to try the dumpling recipe.
Assembling this was pretty easy as long as you have all the ingredients before hand.

Ingredients:
1/4 head of cabbage (or pre-shredded cabbage pkg)
2 tsp salt
2 green onions (scallions)
1/2 lb ground turkey lean
1 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp rice wine
2 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 mango chopped
1 Tbsp cornstarch
Cornstarch paste: 2 T cornstarch plus 1/4 c water
1 pck round dumpling wrappers defrosted
High heat cooking oil
1/2 cup Chinese dipping sauce (dumpling sauce by Kikkoman)

Directions:
1. Chop cabbage or put thru a food processor. Add salt and leave for 10 minutes.  Then wring using either a paper towel or cheese cloth to squeeze the water. Put in a mixing bowl.
2. Chop scallions finely and add to bowl.
3. Mix in the ground turkey, soy sauce, vinegar & sesame oil. Add the mangoes.
4. Add cornstarch to hold mixture together as a binder.
5. To wrap the potstickers, Add 1 tsp of meat filling to center of wrapper.
6. Use cornstart paste to seal the dumplings. Fold in half and seal the edges using a crimper or a fork.

Cooking:
To cook heat 2 T of oil into a nonstick frying pan. When hot add dumplings flat side down in batches about 2-3 minutes until brown. Add 1/4 c of water and cover to steam for 3-4 minutes. Remove cover and let cook an additional 1 minute or until the water evaporates.

Serve with dipping sauce.

Jollibee fried peach mango pie

Hmmm.  I went to Jollibee in Jersey city, NJ to get one of the peach mango pies.  Unfortunately they were out, so I got the banana langka instead. Then I had one of those light bulb moments to make my own Peach mango pie.  Crazy huh?  The important thing was the filling.  The filling would be a little bit hard if the yellow ripe mangoes were out of season.  Luckily Del Monte now sells them in the little plastic cups.  Filling: 1 C of yellow sliced and cubed mangoes, ripe and peaches  or Del Monte cubed mangoes and peaches with syrup 2 T peach jam preserves 1T white sugar In a little saucepan, cook the mangoes in sugar for 1 minute in medium heat until mangoes soften.  Add the peach jam and mix. Simmer for another 1 minutes.   Transfer to a bowl and cool in refrigerator. Crust: Buy the PUFF pastry crust from the supermarket.  Lay out and cut in squares.   Add the mango peach filling.  Top with ...

Mango Cream Pie

For mother's day, a friend of mine gave me 2 yellow mangoes. Mangoes has to be my favorite fruit. My brother shared with me a mango cream pie recipe along with my friend's mother who made it out of mango puree. This recipe is sort of a combination of both. The best mango cream pie has yet to be from Red Ribbon bakery...sweet crust, mangoes and whipped cream. For good results get sweet ripe mangoes for this recipe or add some white sugar to it. If you can't find any good mangoes, you can also try mango puree and just mix it with the cream mixture. Ingredients: 2-3 cups of fresh yellow mangoes, ripe and sweet..cut thinly 1c organic heavy whipping cream 1 small can condensed milk 1/2 c hot water or hot mangoe puree (heated up) 2 sachets of Knox white gelating powder, (2) Pilsbury ready made pie crustor or graham cracker crust, baked according to directions on package 1 tsp vanilla flavoring 1 Tbsp crushed graham cracker crumbs ...
