Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups warm water
- 0.5 pounds ground pork
- 3 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 cups water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and slowly add 0.75 cups of warm water. Stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
While the dough rests, prepare the filling by combining 0.5 pounds of ground pork, 3 finely chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon of minced ginger, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of pepper in a bowl.
Mix the filling ingredients until well combined and refrigerate until ready to use.
After the dough has rested, divide it into four equal parts. Roll each piece into a log and cut into 12 pieces.
Roll each piece into a small, thin circle, about 3 inches in diameter, making the edges thinner than the center.
Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and press the edges tightly to seal.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Arrange the dumplings in a single layer and fry them for about 2 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add 0.5 cups of water to the pan and cover immediately with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for 8-10 minutes or until fully cooked and the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the bottoms are crisp again. Serve immediately.
