Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Dumpling steamer or large pot
  • 1 Frying pan
  • 1 measuring spoon set

Ingredients
  

  • 250 grams ground pork
  • 100 grams chives finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon ginger minced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 pack dumpling wrappers
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chives, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, salt, and white pepper.
  • Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well incorporated.
  • Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface and spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center.
  • Wet the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it over, and pleat the edges to seal the dumpling.
  • Repeat the filling and sealing with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Let the dumplings rest for 10 minutes.
  • In a frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
  • Add the dumplings to the pan, ensuring they are not touching each other.
  • Fry for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
  • Pour in 1/4 cup of water and cover the pan with a lid to steam the dumplings for 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and let any remaining water evaporate, then serve the dumplings hot.

Notes

For extra tips, ensure the filling is not too wet to prevent the dumplings from breaking during cooking. When sealing the wrappers, make sure there are no air pockets inside to avoid them bursting. Additionally, experiment with dipping sauces like soy sauce or chili oil to complement the flavors of the dumplings.
