LISA’S PHO ‘KREPLACH’ (DUMPLINGS)
A kreplach is a traditional Jewish soup dumpling, usually with a beef or chicken filling. It is served in chicken soup. These kreplach are flavoured with Vietnamese spices (via the beef from the pho soup) and are a perfect addition to the Jewish Chicken Soup Pho.
1 red shallot or eschallot, chopped
1 heaped teaspoon grated fresh ginger
100 g cooked beef rib from soup, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon sriracha
salt and pepper to taste
16 wonton wrappers
Saute the shallot in a little olive oil or chicken fat in a small frying pan until just starting to brown. Add the ginger and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the meat and sriracha and saute until hot and well combined. Season with salt and pepper generously to taste. Allow to cool. Place a heaped teaspoon of the mixture in the centre of a wonton wrapper. Dab the sides with water and fold over so the corner meets the corner to make a triangle, pressing down to stick. Using a small glass or cookie cutter, cut out a circle. Set aside. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil, put the kreplach in and bring to the boil. Once boiling, cook for a few minutes until ready. Drain gently and place in a bowl. Cover with a few spoons of broth until needed. Reheat gently in the broth.
Makes about 16 pho kreplach.
