Dumpling Wrappers

Method

Dumpling Wrappers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 tsp of salt. Gradually add 3 tbs of water while mixing until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-10 minutes until it's smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Roll Out the Wrappers

    After resting, divide the dough into small portions and roll each one out into thin circles, about 3-4 inches in diameter.

Filling

  1. 4

    Mix the Filling

    In a bowl, combine 1 cup of ground pork, 1 cup of chopped green onions, 2 tsp of minced garlic, 1 tsp of minced ginger, 2 tbs of soy sauce, 1 tbs of sesame oil, 1 tsp of salt, and 1 tsp of pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 5

    Fill the Dumplings

    Take one dumpling wrapper, spoon about 1-2 tbs of filling into the center, and fold the wrapper in half, sealing the edges by pinching together. Repeat with all wrappers and filling.

  2. 6

    Fry the Dumplings

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tbs of vegetable oil over medium heat. Place the dumplings in the skillet and fry for about 3-4 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

  3. 7

    Steam the Dumplings

    Carefully add 1 cup of water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and steam the dumplings for about 5-6 minutes until cooked through.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Remove the lid, let any remaining water evaporate, and serve the pot stickers hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
