Speedy Smash Dumpling Tacos recipe by Dished by Kate

All the flavour of juicy dumplings, without the faff and in a fraction of the time. Switch up your taco night with these super speedy, super easy smash dumpling tacos. Just press your dumpling filling onto mini tortillas, pan-fry, load up your toppings then drizzle with a spicy dipping sauce.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Finely slice the spring onions and coriander, then add most of it (keep aside a little to top your tacos with at the end) to a mixing bowl along with the minced pork, crushed garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, fish sauce, half of the rice vinegar and a good grind of black pepper. Mix to combine, making sure all the seasoning is evenly spread throughout the pork.

Step 2

Mix the diced cucumber with the remaining rice vinegar and a pinch of salt, then set aside.

Step 3

Spoon a couple of tablespoons of the pork filling onto each mini tortilla, and use a spoon to press the mixture into a thin layer, ideally filling up one side of the tortilla.

Step 4

Set a large frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat, and add a drizzle of olive oil. Place the topped tortillas, dumpling mixture down, onto the pan and use a fish slice to press the tortilla into the pan. Cook for four minutes, then flip the taco and cook for another minute, just to crisp up the tortilla. Remove from the pan, then repeat with the rest of the tortillas.

Step 5

Spoon the pickled cucumber onto each taco, then scatter over the set-aside coriander and spring onions. Finish with the sesame seeds. Drizzle a little dumpling dipping sauce or chilli oil (or both!) on top of each taco, and serve with more sauce on the side.
