Dumpling Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, minced ginger, minced garlic, Sichuan vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

  2. 2

    Wrap the Dumplings

    Take a dumpling wrapper and place a small spoonful of the filling in the center. Moisten the edges with water, fold the wrapper over to create a half-moon shape, and press the edges to seal. Repeat until all filling is used.

  3. 3

    Cook the Dumplings

    You can choose to steam, boil, or pan-fry the dumplings. For steaming, place them in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 10-12 minutes. For boiling, cook in a pot of boiling water for about 5-7 minutes. For pan-frying, heat a little oil in a skillet, add dumplings, and fry until golden brown on the bottom, then add a bit of water, cover, and steam until cooked through.

  4. 4

    Serve

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