After an amazing weekend spent with some of my favorite ladies, filled with much-needed relaxation, laughter, and delicious homemade food, I came home inspired to try something new in my own kitchen! ❤️
Tonight’s menu was homemade pork dumplings, crab Rangoon, and pork fried rice! 🥟🥢
After making dumplings for the first time this weekend, I knew I had to give them a try at home! I filled mine with ground pork, cabbage, green onions, water chestnuts, carrots, ginger and garlic paste, tamari, rice vinegar, and hoisin sauce. Lightly pan-fried in EVOO until golden and crispy!
Of course, I had to make a delicious dipping sauce to go with them! I combined tamari, rice vinegar, green onions, red pepper flakes, raw honey, hoisin sauce, ginger and garlic paste, and a little sesame oil. The perfect combination of sweet, savory, and a little kick! (Thank you, Nicole, for the recipe! ❤️)
I also made my husband’s favorite, crab Rangoon! I decided to try them in the air fryer this time. They came out yummy, but I have to admit, I still prefer them lightly fried in a little oil. There’s just something about that perfectly golden, crispy wonton!
And because no meal like this is complete without it, I whipped up a batch of homemade pork fried rice to bring everything together.
Everything turned out absolutely delicious! There’s nothing quite like bringing a little inspiration home from a wonderful weekend and turning it into a homemade meal for the ones you love.
❤️
Good friends, good food, and new recipes to bring home. My kind of weekend, and I cant wait for our next ladies weekend! 🫶🏻
