Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled
- 1 pound chorizo sausage
- ½ cup grated Cheddar cheese (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers
- 1 cup peach jam
- 1 cup sweet Thai chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
Instructions
- Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chorizo in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool.
- Drain sweet potatoes, mash, and let cool until safe to handle, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Combine mashed sweet potatoes, chorizo, Cheddar cheese, and cilantro to make the filling. Set up a prep area for dumplings, including a tray to cool them on and a bowl of water to fasten them.
- Place 2 teaspoons of filling onto a wonton wrapper, wet the outside edge, and seal. Place dumpling on the tray. Repeat with remaining filling and wonton wrappers. Refrigerate dumplings for 30 minutes before sealing in a zip-top bag to freeze.
- Combine peach jam, Thai chili sauce, and cilantro to make the dipping sauce.
- To cook the dumplings from frozen, first heat oil in a pan over medium- to medium-high heat. Add dumplings and a little water; pan-fry until heated through, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Use any cheese you like.
