Method

Prepare the Filling

  1. 1

    Mix the filling ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Assemble the Dumplings

  1. 2

    Fill the wrappers

    Take a dumpling wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture in the center. Be careful not to overfill.

  2. 3

    Seal the dumplings

    Moisten the edges of the dumpling wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, then press the edges together to seal. You can pleat the edges for a decorative touch.

  3. 4

    Repeat

    Continue filling and sealing the remaining wrappers until all the filling is used.

Cook the Dumplings

  1. 5

    Heat the oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Fry the dumplings

    Once the oil is hot, add the dumplings in a single layer. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.

  3. 7

    Add water and steam

    Carefully pour in 1 cup of water into the skillet. Immediately cover the skillet with a lid and let the dumplings steam for about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 8

    Finish frying

    After steaming, remove the lid and let any remaining water evaporate. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are crispy again.

Serve
