Raviolis Guo Tie Recipe

Stepping up my kitchen game today with this seriously delicious twist on ravioli—crispy, saucy, and it takes under 30 minutes to hit that sweet spot between weeknight ease and gourmet vibes!

I enjoy blending Italian and Asian cuisines, and Ravioli Guo Tie is one of my favorite dishes. It combines the convenience of store-bought ravioli with the big flavors that are typical of Asian cooking—soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger.

Garlic and green onions (also known as scallions) are aromatic enough to add to the flavor mix, but a healthy dose of rice vinegar is the real kicker. I mean that in a good way, of course.

This dish might be slightly on the high side when it comes to calories, but if you can take a bit of time on the weekend to prepare the following sauce, you’ve got a great go-to dinner waiting for you come Monday allowing you to eat with families that are on the go.

FAQ

• What type of ravioli should I use for this recipe?Any type of ravioli can be used, including those filled with cheese, spinach, or meat. You can pick your preferred ravioli or mix and match with various flavors.
• Can I make this recipe if I only have frozen ravioli?Certainly, just follow the package instructions for thawing the frozen ravioli, or if cooking in the pan, allow for a few extra minutes of cooking time.
• Do I need to boil the ravioli before pan-frying?For store-bought pre-cooked ravioli, there is no need to boil them first. Just ensure they are thawed if they are frozen. Homemade ravioli should be boiled briefly until it floats, and only then should you follow the recipe for whatever dish you’re making.
• What’s the best oil to use for frying the ravioli?Canola or peanut oil can be used as alternatives to vegetable oil, which is suggested for its neutral flavor and high smoke point.

• What can I serve with Raviolis Guo Tie?A simple salad or steamed vegetables would balance the rich flavors of this dish nicely.
• How can I adjust the level of spice?To amplify heat, incorporate chili oil or freshly sliced chili peppers into the dish. To lessen the spiciness, leave these ingredients out.

Pro Tips

1. Use Wonton Wrappers If making homemade ravioli, use wonton wrappers to easily create delicate homemade pasta pockets. This saves time and gives a perfect texture for pan-frying.

2. Preheat the Oil Ensure the vegetable oil is properly heated before adding the ravioli. A properly preheated pan prevents sticking and results in evenly crispy ravioli.

3. Deglaze Wisely When adding water to the pan, deglaze the bottom by gently swirling the pan or using a spatula to ensure all crispy bits are included in the flavor profile.

4. Adjust Sauce Ingredients Balance the salty, sour, and sweet elements in the sauce by adjusting soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar quantities to taste. You can add a splash of lime juice for extra zing if desired.

5. Garnish Generously Besides scallions and sesame seeds, you can add thinly sliced radishes, fresh cilantro, or chopped peanuts for added texture and flavor.
