Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 120 ml boiling water
- 250 g ground pork
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 stalks green onions
- 100 g napa cabbage
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the dumpling wrappers. In a large bowl, add 250g of all-purpose flour. Gradually pour in 120ml of boiling water while stirring with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the filling. Chop the 2 green onions, mince the garlic clove, and grate 1 tsp of ginger.
In a medium bowl, combine 250g of ground pork, 2 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tsp of sesame oil, the prepared ginger, minced garlic, and green onions.
Finely chop 100g of napa cabbage, then mix it with 1 tbsp of cornstarch in a separate bowl to remove excess moisture. Add it to the pork mixture.
Season the filling with 1 tsp of salt and 0.5 tsp of black pepper. Mix everything well until combined.
Divide the rested dough into 24 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small circle about 3 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.
Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Pinch the edges together firmly to seal the dumplings, forming a half-moon shape.
Set up a steamer and bring the water to a boil. Place the dumplings in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Steam the dumplings over boiling water for 12-15 minutes until the pork is cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.
Carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
