 Serves 6-8 

 



Total Time

 4 Hours 

 



 

 

Ingredients

    ¼ cup of raw cashews  

   2½ cups of fresh corn kernels or frozen sweet corn  

   3 tbsp of plant-based butter  

   1 clove of garlic, peeled  

   ½ cup of freeze-dried corn  

   ¼ cup of thinly sliced green onions  

   1 tbsp of minced fresh lemongrass  

   1 tsp of minced or thinly sliced red chile  

   2 tsp of sea salt  

   Freshly ground black pepper  

   1 to 1½ packages (12 ounces each) of round eggless dumpling skins, about 3½ inch diameter  

   1 tbsp of cornstarch  

   Spray oil for steaming, or cabbage leaves or bamboo leaves  

   1½ to 2 cups of Coconut Corn Broth  

   Chile oil, for garnish  

   Several small Thai basil leaves or more sliced green onions, for garnish  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

To make the filling, soak the cashews in water to cover at room temperature for two to three hours. Drain and rinse. You’ll add these later to the filling.



 Step 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 two cups of the corn to a blender (set aside the remaining half cup of kernels).



 Step 3 

Add the butter to the blender and blend until smooth, one to two minutes. Add the drained cashews and garlic and blend until smooth. The puree should be nice and thick. Scrape it into a mixing bowl.



 Step 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.



 Step 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).



 Step 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.



 Step 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 three minutes.



 Step 8 

Gather 6 to 8 small serving bowls and place four or five dumplings in the centre of each. Pour about a quarter 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 chilli oil and a couple of basil leaves (or sliced green onions).



 Step 9 

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.



 Step 10 

To make the corn broth, snap or cut the ears of corn in half.



 Step 11 

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.



 Step 12 

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.



 Step 13 

Pro Tip: 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 five cups corn kernels. You can keep them in the fridge for a few days or cool completely and freeze them for several weeks.
