Ingredients

Scale
  • 2½ cups purple yams, peeled and diced small
  • 3 cups Oriental sweet potatoes, peeled and diced small
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated or minced
  • 3 tablespoons shallots, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups choy sum leaves (or other leafy green), sliced
  • Dumpling wrappers
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil, plus a little extra for brushing over the dumplings
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated or minced
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 (13.66 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce

Instructions

  1. Place yams and sweet potatoes in a large saucepan, covering them with cold water by a few inches. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 10-15 minutes. Drain.
  2. Meanwhile, heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger and shallots and sauté until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Add choy sum leaves and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally, about 4-5 minutes. Add potatoes back in, stir to combine and set aside to cool slightly. Season to taste with salt.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Get a small bowl of water ready. Scoop a heaping teaspoon of the potato mixture into a dumpling wrapper. Dip a finger in the water and run it around the perimeter of the dumpling wrapper. Fold it in half and press the edges firmly to seal around the filling. Set on a baking sheet and repeat with remaining dumpling wrappers until you run out of wrappers or filling.
  4. Brush each dumpling with a little extra peanut oil, and bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. While the dumplings are baking, prepare the peanut sauce. Heat peanut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger and sauté until fragrant. Add remaining ingredients and whisk until smooth and heated through.
