Steps to make Lotus Root Dumplings with Ankake Sauce:
- Chop the shiitake mushrooms finely. If you are not a vegetarian, use 50 g of peeled and chopped shrimp instead.
- Peel the lotus root, cut into half lengthwise and soak in water with a little vinegar (about 1 teaspoon of vinegar with enough water to cover the lotus root) to remove the astringency.
- Grate the soaked lotus root and squeeze it out lightly to get rid of some of the moisture. Add the shiitake mushrooms or shrimp from Step 1 to the grated lotus root in a bowl.
- Add the ● seasoning ingredients to Step 3, and knead gently with your hands to bring everything together. Taste and adjust the seasonings. (You can add a little sugar at this point.) If you are not a vegetarian, add 1/2 of an egg white to make the dumplings light.
- When the flavor is to your taste, form the mixture into about ping-pong sized dumplings. I could make 8 to 9 dumplings.
- Wrap up each dumpling in a piece of plastic wrap. Twist the ends tightly.
- Microwave the wrapped dumplings from Step 6 for 2 minutes, then remove the plastic. The lotus root dumplings are done! Leave them on a plate for a while to let cool.
- Fry the lotus root dumplings: Coat the Step 6 microwaved lotus root dumplings with katakuriko. Heat the grapeseed (or vegetable) oil in a frying pan, and shallow-fry the dumplings while rolling them around occasionally. You can deep fry the dumplings in lots of oil if you like, but this shallow-frying method is calorie-conscious.
