Kuotie: Chinese-Indonesian Pan-fried Dumplings

37 comments


Kuotie is the Chinese-Indonesian interpretation of guotie. It basically tastes very similar to guotie, the main difference is that kuotie is much more garlicky in flavour. Kuotie is also often eaten with chili-garlic sauce as condiment, together with minced garlic. Definitely not something that you should eat on a Sunday evening, unless you want to get some frowns from your colleagues or boss the next day ;).

What to do

Kuotie skins
  • Combine flour and boiling water. Mix and knead well until you get a non-sticky consistency. You might need some extra flour for dusting. Check this link if you need some step-by-step pictures to help you making the dumpling skins.
Kuotie filling
  • Combine all of the other ingredients (pork, shrimps, cabbage, chives, garlic, ginger, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar and pepper) and mix well. Make sure that the napa cabbage is completely dry, you do not want the filling to be too wet, because it might complicate the dumpling pleating process (the kuotie skins might tear easily if the filling is too wet!).
Check my guo tie post, to see how to pleat the kuotie.
  • Pan-fry the kuotie for 8-10 minutes. Serve with chili-garlic sauce and minced garlic.

  3. How did you wrap them up so beautifully? Look at the pleats! :D

    To have a lot of minced garlic in the sauce is not really new, I think. I heard from my Chinese friend that garlic+vinegar is actually more "authentic" than ginger+vinegar (this was more of a localized taste after Guotie become more "international"). Hahhaa, I guess people want to eat to their hearts' content without worrying about strong garlicky smell that won't go away for days in the mouth and even throat! :O

  4. @ Mary - Thank you, Mary, you're too kind. I still have a lot to learn in my photography skills, for example from you :)! Your pictures are always great!

    @Lani - Thank you for stopping by Lani :).

    @ Tigerfish - I guess practice makes perfect ;)? Even though mine are still far away from perfect! I didn't mean that this kuotie is something new, it's very similar with the original guotie, but Indonesians tend to eat them with garlic-chilli sauce rather than vinegar (with garlic or ginger). Apoligies for being unclear - I really need to hone my writing skills...!

    @ Margot - Thank you, Margot!

  16. @ Shirley - You're too kind :)! I normally pleat from left to right instead of starting in the middle, maybe it might make a difference. Have a try!

    @ Kitchen Corner - Glad you like it!

    @ Jeannie - I freeze them of course, so that I can just have them again another time when I want it without spending too much time in the kitchen ;). Thanks for the compliment!

  18. @ Veny - Disini kalo mau beli kulit yg tipis juga ada sebenernya, tapi itu biasanya buat wonton/pangsit. Aku personally sebenernya lebih suka kulit rada tebelan kalo buat kuotie, kalo buat siomai baru suka yg tipis.

  26. @ Taste of Hong Kong - Ditto, I love making dumplings from scratch when the time allows. I often do go the easy way and use ready made dumpling skins when I feel like eating dumplings but don't want to bother kneading some flour beforehand ;)!

    @ Wendy - Thank you Wendy!

  33. Massive dumpling fan here and I love making my own, but mine never look that good. How do you sort of wrinkled, almost shell-like effect?
