Homemade Garlic Chili Oil and Dumpling Dipping Sauce
The Cen-Tex Smoker
Posts: 23,132
My son turned me on to a YouTube channel from a guy that was the lead line cook at Uchiko here in Austin for a few years. He left Uchiko to build this youtube channel and It's awesome! If you have not heard of Uchiko, give it a google. Best restaurant in Austin in my book and by far the most inventive. Being ead line cook there is a legit culinary accomplishment.
Anyhow, I have proclaimed this year to be "The Year of the Dumpling" for me. I'm going to get weird with dumplings from the dough all the way through. Stay tuned for that adventure, I'll post it all here. I wanted to learn to make the sauces first so these are store my last store bought dumplings before TYOTD goes into effect. Both of these sauces are out of this world. Can't wait to make my own dumplings to go with.
Here is the chili oil recipe and techniques:
Dumpling dipping Sauce recipe:
1tsp white sugar
1Tbsp very hot water (dissolve sugar)
3Tbsp good soy sauce
1Tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
1- Garlic Clove Minced
Here are my results:

Any my kitchen after I was done lol. Janell was out with friends while I was doing all this and walked in right when I was taking this pic. I felt like a cat in a littler box when someone turns on the lights. Don’t judge me!Kitchen 30 minutes (and 2 Titos) later:Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

I’ve been watching him for a while. The cabinet intro is pretty obnoxious, but skipping the first 30 seconds makes them much more tolerable. His baking stuff is quite good, too

Thank you! Janell designed it from the ground up. It was 3 tiny rooms with a very low ceiling when we bought the house.

Pretty sure I've never had a dumpling. Very sure I've never wanted one. Never seemed appealing. Didn't know they were supposed to have sauces either. I prolly just don't know what I'm missing.
Nice kitchen though!
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

we love WuChow. Try Old Thousand on E 11th (right by Franklin). The dumplings (really thier chili oil and their black vinegar sauce) at Old Thousand are what sent me down this path. I want to put as much energy into something new this year as I normally do into grilling/bbq. We had a boozy Sunday brunch at Old Thousand last weekend and with chili oil and vinegar dripping down my chin I was like "this is it! Dumplings!"And so my quest begins.And get to Uchiko ASAP. bring your wallet.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
@The Cen-Tex Smoker I have never heard of Old Thousand before but will be putting it on my list. Boozy Sunday brunches are the best. I have heard that Uchiko isn't cheap.Midland, TX XLBGE

Thank you for sharing. I definitely had a "life changing dumpling experience" while in college. My mom and step-father took me to a restaurant. The dumplings were amazing, but the sauce changed my life. Can't wait to try this!!
I'll be in Austin the 1st week of Feb. for a convention. Hopefully I will have a chance to try one of the restaurants listed above!Southlake, TX and Cowhouse Creek - King, TX. 2 Large, 1 Small and a lot of Eggcessories. -
Chinese Cooking Demystified and School of Wok are also excellent channels for Chinese/Asian cooking.

And never forget Maangchi for Korean dishes!

I could really get down with TYOTD. They're a staple in our house but I've always been a bit tentative to try and make my own (for no good reason). Looking forward to this! Thanks for sharing!!

I'm a fan of that YouTube channel as well, minus the intro. Nice work on the chili oil.It's "Smokin Gal", not "Smoking Al".

Great video and great job! Don't get me wrong, just wondering if lightly toasting the spices on CI pan would 'wake up' the flavour even more?
edit: love the kitchen too, specially the single bowl sink, we would never go back to double bowl again.canuckland -

Year of Dumpling - great !! Should be a fun follow . . Reminds me of an old VILLAGE IDIOT post - he was the man when I first got my egg and did lots of interesting Asian stuff.Columbus, OH

Oh man. I'm excited about TYOTD.
I've made bao a few times. One sis lived in China for many years and has made dumplings for us. We've dabbled in other things like xiao long bao (actually caliqueen figured that one out). So so much goodness there.
Can't wait to see the fruits of your endeavors.

Somewhat grounded on the dumplings thing. I remember one of my most favorite meals being chicken and dumplings.

Ok, I said earlier that I've never had or wanted dumplings. I've spent some time this morning watching people make them and found that they are totally not what I imagined them to be! They look delicious and I have GOT to try some! TYOTD indeed!

this is a really good fast food type item. if you can find an asian grocery that makes them a bag of 50 can be under ten bucks. frozen til needed, steamed, steamed/fried, deep fried. super quick meal. peking raviolis are dumplings, you must have had those at one time

Your sauce and dumplings look excellent and delish. Thanks for the info on the YouTube channel. The last year or so I delved into dumplings but got busy with other things to cook. You resparked my interest so thank you.Everyday is Saturday and tomorrow is always Sunday.
