Dumplings

Method

Dumplings Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, chopped green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly blended.

  2. 2

    Assemble Dumplings

    Take a dumpling wrapper and place about a teaspoon of the filling in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold it in half, and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer over medium heat.
