Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 3 pieces green onions
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 packet dumpling wrappers
- as needed water
Instructions
Begin by finely chopping the green onions and mincing the garlic and ginger.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about a teaspoon of the pork filling into the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to enclose the filling, pressing the edges together to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets.
Pleat the edges of the dumpling, if desired, for a traditional look.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Set up your steamer. Fill the steamer basket with a layer of parchment paper or a lightly greased surface to prevent sticking.
Bring water to a boil in a steamer pot. Place the dumplings in the steamer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Cover the steamer and steam the dumplings over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes or until the pork is cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.
Once cooked, carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve hot with your choice of soy sauce or dipping sauce.
