Among the many dumpling recipes in Hong Kong, egg dumplings are simply unique in terms of how it’s prepared, its taste, as well as texture. Unlike traditional dumplings with wheat flour wraps, egg dumplings are wrapped in a thin layer of fried egg.

First off, you’ll need all the ingredients and a few kitchen tools. For ingredients, you’ll need about 4 – 8 fresh eggs, depending on how much you will be cooking, cooking oil, diced meat and vegetables for your dumpling’s filling, a miniature wok that’s about 3 – 4 inches in diameter (you can also use an aluminum ladle), and a steamer.

To begin, beat the eggs in a bowl for about five minutes. Once that is done, place the wok or the ladle on the stove at medium heat and add a bit of oil to prevent the egg from sticking. Pour in a small amount of egg on the wok to create a thin layer of coating. Next, place the meat filling in the middle of the wok or ladle. With the use of utensils like chopsticks, cover the meat with the egg layer and fry until the egg starts to golden. Repeat these steps for the rest of your egg dumplings. And finally, gather all your egg dumplings and place them in a steamer for five minutes to thoroughly cook the meat.

According to egg experts at Norco Ranch, using eggs as wraps instead of the traditional flour wraps makes the treat healthier. Hong Kong style dumplings can also be served in soup.
