Kuotie: Chinese-Indonesian Pan-fried Dumplings

Kuotie is the Chinese-Indonesian interpretation of guotie. It basically tastes very similar to guotie, the main difference is that kuotie is much more garlicky in flavour. Kuotie is also often eaten with chili-garlic sauce as condiment, together with minced garlic. Definitely not something that you should eat on a Sunday evening, unless you want to get some frowns from your colleagues or boss the next day ;).

What to do



Kuotie skins

Combine flour and boiling water. Mix and knead well until you get a non-sticky consistency. You might need some extra flour for dusting. Check this link if you need some step-by-step pictures to help you making the dumpling skins.Kuotie filling

Combine all of the other ingredients (pork, shrimps, cabbage, chives, garlic, ginger, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar and pepper) and mix well. Make sure that the napa cabbage is completely dry, you do not want the filling to be too wet, because it might complicate the dumpling pleating process (the kuotie skins might tear easily if the filling is too wet!).Check my guo tie post, to see how to pleat the kuotie.

Pan-fry the kuotie for 8-10 minutes. Serve with chili-garlic sauce and minced garlic.
