7,449,663 views More than once, Peter Parker takes a 'swing' (sorry) at hanging up the web shooters in favor of a skillet and spatula. And without wishing to spoil the entire game for you, he apparently makes a hell of a curry. Can he, however, atone for his failures in dumpling-and-wheatcake-making? Let's find out!

For The Dipping Sauce

½ cup soy sauce

1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar

2 tbsp Chinese chives (or regular chives if you can’t find them)

Fresh garlic, minced

1 tbsp sesame seeds

1 tbsp chili garlic sauce

For The MJ’s Dumplings

1 pound of ground pork

3 cloves large garlic, minced

1 egg, beaten

2 tbsp Chinese chives, finely minced

2 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

All purpose flour

Dumpling wrappers

Vegetable oil

½ cup water

DIRECTIONS

For The Aunt May’s Wheatcakes

In a large bowl combine the whole wheat flour with the sifted buckwheat flour, add the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup buckwheat flour, sifted

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

In a separate bowl combine the buttermilk with the molasses. Whisk to combine and set aside.

2 cups buttermilk

2 tsp molasses

Whip your egg whites until they are stiff but not dry. Set aside.

2 egg whites, whipped

Add the beaten egg yolks to the dry mixture along with the wet mixture and melted butter. Mix to combine, but don’t over mix! (It’s okay if it’s lumpy)

2 egg yolks, beaten

¼ cup melted butter

Fold in your whipped egg whites to create a fluffy batter.

2 egg whites, whipped

In a skillet heat up some bacon grease until pan is shimmering over a medium low heat. Add a nice amount of batter and flip when bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is browned and crisp. Cook the other side, and place on a plate when finished. Add butter and maple syrup.

For The MJ’s Dumplings

For The Dipping Sauce

Combine all ingredients together in a bowl and whisk to combine and set aside

½ cup soy sauce

1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar

2 tbsp Chinese chives (or regular chives if you can’t find them)

Fresh garlic, minced

1 tbsp sesame seeds

1 tbsp chili garlic sauce

For The Dumplings

In a large bowl combine the ground pork with the minced garlic cloves, the beaten egg, the Chinese chives, soy sauce, sesame oil, and the freshly minced ginger. Mix thoroughly to combine.

1 pound of ground pork

3 cloves large garlic, minced

1 egg, beaten

2 tbsp Chinese chives, finely minced

2 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Fill a small bowl with water and set aside. This will help seal the dumplings.

All purpose flour

Dip your finger in the water and gently wet the edge of the dumpling wrapper. Once the whole outside edge is wet, add about 1 tsp of your pork mixture to the center of the dumpling. Fold the wrapper in half, pinch where sides meet, wet the outside of the wrapper, and make 3 pleats on each side of the dumpling to seal it shut.

Dumpling wrappers

Heat up some vegetable oil in a nonstick pan over a medium high heat and cook on the bottom side until dumplings are lovely and browned.

Vegetable oil

Add the water to the hot pan, lower the heat to medium low, cover and let steam and cook for about 5 minutes.

½ cup water

Remove from heat, let cool and serve with dumpling dipping sauce.
