Dumpling Filling

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine ground pork, chopped shrimp, Sichuan vinegar, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Dumplings

    Take a dumpling wrapper and place a tablespoon of the filling in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water, fold over to create a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Dumplings

    You can either steam or boil the dumplings. To steam, place them in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper and steam for about 10-12 minutes. To boil, drop them in boiling water and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they float.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the dumplings hot with additional Sichuan vinegar on the side for dipping.
