Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

under 30 minutes
ingredients
2 ounces sesame oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 shallots
1 stalk lemongrass, minced
2 ounces ginger, peeled and minced
1 pound lobster meat, chipped fine
4 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
2 tablespoons sambal chili sauce
1 bunch scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons mint
2 tablespoons basil
32 pieces dumpling wrappers
2 eggs, whipped
3 cups peanut oil
directions
In a medium saucepan, saute in sesame oil the garlic, shallots, lemongrass and ginger until slightly browned. Remove from heat and transfer to mixing bowl. Then fold in the lobster meat, soy sauce, sambal, scallions, mint and basil.
Lay out dumpling wrappers evenly on a flat surface, then brush a thin layer of egg on each wrapper. Place a small amount of the mixture in the center of the wrapper. Then fold the edges of the wrappers up around the mixture and squeeze the edges to seal the dumpling. Deep fry dumplings in 350 degrees F peanut oil until golden brown.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Thanks for the shooter recipe. Do you also have the recipe for the red chile cocunut sauce that Abacus serves the dumpling in??
