Corn Dumplings in Coconut Broth: a great summer dish!

When I took a look through the cookbook, my eye went straight to Chad and Derek’s Corn Dumplings in Coconut Corn Broth recipe. It’s summery and fresh comfort food decked out with fresh chilis and herbs.

I love the repetitive process of arranging the wonton skins, and smelling the aroma of the fresh corn, lemongrass and scallion filling was heavenly. My fold wasn’t as tight as the chef’s, but it’s something to work on!

After the dumplings were filled, they went into my bamboo steamer to soften up and relax:

That broth? It’s made from scratch and super flavorful with corncobs (who knew?), coconut milk, ginger and herbs. Perfection. I loved this recipe and can’t wait to try more!

Congrats to Zach, the winner of this giveaway … thank you to everyone who entered!

Description

This corn dumplings in coconut corn broth recipe is amazing! From Chef Chad Sarno: Dumplings are hands-down my favorite finger food. They’re also perfect as a first course in a small bath of flavorful broth. Save these dumplings for the height of summer when sweet corn is super fresh. Some fresh corn shows up in the creamy filling and some in the corn broth, which you make by simmering the corncobs in coconut milk with lemongrass and other aromatics. When you nestle the dumplings in a small bowl of broth with a few drops of chile oil and some Thai basil leaves, they make a sensual little starter.


Ingredients

for the broth

  • 6 large ears corn, preferably organic and in season, shucked
  • 3 quarts water
  • 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk or coconut cream
  • 1 jalapeño chile, halved lengthwise (remove the seeds for less heat)
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced fresh ginger
  • ¼ cup garlic cloves (8 to 12 cloves), crushed with the flat of your knife
  • 10 fresh mint sprigs, stems and all
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 star anise, optional
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1 lime, juiced

for the dumplings

  • ¼ cup raw cashews
  • 2½ cups fresh corn kernels or frozen sweet corn
  • 3 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • ½ cup freeze-dried corn (see Pro Tip, below)
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh lemongrass
  • 1 teaspoon minced or thinly sliced red chile
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 to 1½ packages (12 ounces each) round eggless dumpling skins, about 3½ inch diameter
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Spray oil for steaming, or cabbage leaves or bamboo leaves
  • 1½ to 2 cups Coconut Corn Broth (see recipe below)
  • Chile oil, for garnish
  • Several small Thai basil leaves or more sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions

for the broth

  1. Snap or cut the ears of corn in half.
  2. Bring the water to a boil in a large stockpot over high heat. Add the corn and everything else except the lime juice. Cut the heat to medium, then bring the liquid to a slow simmer. Let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Remove the corncobs and cut the kernels from the cobs (see Pro Tips). Return the naked cobs to the broth along with the lime juice. Continue simmering gently over medium heat for another 30 minutes. The liquid will reduce in volume by about one-fourth, which is fine. Shut off the heat and let everything cool down a bit in the pot. Strain the warm broth through a fine-mesh strainer into quart containers, then use immediately or refrigerate for a week or two before using.

for the dumplings

  1. To make the filling, soak the cashews in water to cover at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours. Drain and rinse. You’ll add these later to the filling.
  2. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Set up a bowl of ice water. Drop the fresh or frozen corn in the boiling water and blanch for 30 seconds. Use a spider strainer to transfer the corn to the ice water. Let cool for a minute or two, then transfer 2 cups of the corn to a blender (set aside the remaining ½ cup kernels).
  3. Add the butter to the blender and blend until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the drained cashews and garlic and blend until smooth. The puree should be nice and thick. Scrape it into a mixing bowl.
  4. Grind the freeze-dried corn in a clean spice mill or coffee grinder to a somewhat-coarse texture, similar to cornmeal. Add to the cashew cream in the mixing bowl along with the reserved corn kernels, green onions, lemongrass, chile, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  5. To assemble the dumplings, set the bowl of filling, a small cup of water, your dumpling skins, and a baking sheet on a work surface. Scatter some cornstarch over the baking sheet (to help keep the dumplings from sticking to the pan).
  6. For each dumpling, mound about a tablespoon of filling in the center. Dip your finger in the water and moisten the entire edge of the dumpling skin. For a shumai-style fold, bring all the sides up to the top and twist gently to make a small round purse. Pinch just under the top opening of the purse to gently close it. You should have enough filling to make 30 to 40 dumplings.
  7. These dumplings are best steamed: Spray a steamer basket with oil or line with cabbage leaves or bamboo leaves to prevent sticking. Put the dumplings in the steamer in batches, place over simmering water, cover, and steam until the dumplings are tender, about 3 minutes.
  8. Gather 6 to 8 small serving bowls and place 4 or 5 dumplings in the center of each. Pour about ¼ cup broth around the dumplings in each bowl so a little broth comes up the sides of the dumplings. Anoint each bowl with a few drops of chile oil and a couple of basil leaves (or sliced green onions).

Notes

Pro Tips

When the corn on the cob is tender, after 10 to 15 minutes of simmering, you could just take the cobs out of the broth and gnaw the corn off the cobs. But you want the naked cobs to go back in the broth for more flavor. So…if it’s all in the family and you don’t mind re-using the gnawed-down cobs, give them a quick rinse, then add them back to the broth. Or simply cut the tender kernels from the cobs as directed and serve the corn as loose kernels. You’ll get about 5 cups corn kernels. You can keep them in the fridge for a few days or cool completely and freeze them for several weeks.

Pro Tip

Look for freeze-dried corn in the grain aisle of your market. We’re partial to the taste and texture of Karen’s Naturals freeze-dried corn. If you can’t find it, the recipe works fine without the freeze-dried corn—it’s just a little lighter on corn flavor.

    Does lacto fermentation count as a cooking technique? If so, it’s definitely my favorite because nothing beats home-made sauerkraut, kimchi, or other cultured veggies!

    My favorite cooking technique is making a roux. It was the first technique I learned at age 7, and it’s taken me so far, even if now I use a vegan version! It’s fast and can lead to so many different results (bechamel and veloute are only the beginning), and it allows for so much creativity and experimentation.

    How can I pick one favorite? 🙂 lacto- fermentation is a favorite around here, helps the garden bounty last longer and adds amazing flavor to dishes, but who can argue with a simple stir-fry? Stir-fried leftover vegetables with rice is a staple breakfast around here. Thanks for the recipe, definitely going to try this when corn is in season!

    I have to admit I kind of hate that cover. LOL I have a pretty visceral reaction to it even though I know it’s vegan cooking, just because I hate the thought of butchering and blood. This recipe looks wonderful though, and I’m guessing the cover will be a big hit with other people.

    As for my favorite cooking technique, it’s not necessarily a technique but I love cooking with foraged foods. Our family makes regular use of wild asparagus, black raspberries, nettles, violets, dandelion flowers, black walnuts, purslane (which has the highest omega-3 content of any plant!), crab apples, wild plums and more. I have published books on foraging two of my favorite wild foods, elderberries and acorns. Once acorns are properly leached of their bitter tannins, they become some of the best tasting, most tasty and versatile foods in the world. Acorn flour and meal makes a wonderfully flavorful gluten free flour for baking, thickens like corn meal for recipes like polenta and tamales, and makes the best vegan meatballs and veggie patties I’ve ever cooked. There’s also something so satisfying about making a meal with ingredients that you and your family have gathered yourselves, full of flavors that most people don’t even get to experience anymore. 🙂

    Looking forward to checking out the book!

    I really want to improve my skills in handpies. My family is large and busy and the ability to make some killer handpies would make meals on the run healthier and faster! Thanks, and what a gorgeous book!

    I love cooking on a baking STEEL (not stone). Not only does it produce the best pizza, it arts that crispy bottom to all things – cookies, pies, roasted potatoes/veggies, etc. It’s a game changer in baking.

    I really need to learn vegan food culturing. Fermented nut cheeses and yogurts are so hard to find here and if you do find them they cost an arm and a leg.

    my new favorite technique has to be air frying! Love my Cuisinart Toaster Oven w/ air fryer option…. Gardein crabless bites with horseradish mayo is my husband ‘s fave snack… I can’t wait for the Wicked cookbook but am wondering if you will be publishing one soon?

    I love using my pressure cooker, making good food quickly is always a bonus. I’m starting to feel like I’ve neglected steaming, I want to get one of the bamboo steamers and start experimenting with that. Love your website BTW, great recipes and photography. 🙂

    Would polenta or grits work in place of the freeze dried corn for the dumplings in this recipe? Or would that result in a weird uncooked grainy-ness in the mix?

    My favorite, yet somewhat boring favorite technique is blanching vegetables…! For instance, put broccoli florets in heavily salted boiling water for 90 seconds, then shock in ice water…spin dry in a salad spinner then add to a pan of olive oil with garlic (that’s been sautéed for 90 seconds), finish with salt, pepper a little butter
