Dumpling Filling

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

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

  2. 2

    Fill the Dumplings

    Take one dumpling wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it in half, and pinch to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

  3. 3

    Pan-fry the Dumplings

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the dumplings in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

  4. 4

    Steam the Dumplings

    Once the dumplings are browned, add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Reduce heat to medium and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the dumplings are cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for an additional minute to crisp up the bottoms. Serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
