GLUTEN-FREE CRYSTAL DUMPLINGS ARE STEAMED DUMPLINGS WITH A TRANSLUCENT SKIN

These gluten-free crystal dumplings are steamed dumplings with a translucent skin. They are filled with tofu and vegetables and seasoned with gochujang and tamari. Also, the dumplings are freezer friendly.

Crystal dumplings are a staple of dim sum menus. The dough for this variety of dumplings becomes translucent once cooked, revealing the beautiful color of the fillings. Shrimp dumplings (蝦餃) and Chiu Chow fun go (潮州粉粿) are examples of crystal dumplings.

Typically, crystal dumpling dough is made with wheat starch and another variety of starch. I decided to make a gluten-free crystal dumpling recipe because I have received many requests to make gluten-free dumpling recipes.

To make these dumplings gluten free, I used Bob’s Red Mill’s potato starch and tapioca flour (tapioca starch) to make the dough. What I love about Bob’s Red Mill’s flours is that they’re easy to find in my neighborhood supermarkets. Plus, their gluten-free flours are actually tested and verified as gluten free in their laboratories. For those of you who are sensitive or allergic to gluten, you can buy Bob’s Red Mill’s gluten-free flours with confidence.
