Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 4 pieces green onions, finely chopped
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons white pepper
- 500 milliliters chicken stock (for soup filling)
- 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
- 40 pieces wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (for sealing edges)
- 2 tablespoons water (for sealing edges)
- 1 liter water (for steaming)
- 1 cup soy dipping sauce (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the soup filling the day before: Heat the chicken stock in a small saucepan. Once warm, sprinkle in the gelatin while stirring to dissolve completely. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours or overnight. Once set, cut the jelly into small cubes and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Step 3
Add the prepared chicken stock jelly cubes into the pork mixture and gently fold them in, ensuring even distribution. Be careful to avoid breaking the jelly cubes.
Step 4
Prepare a small bowl with the cornstarch and water mixture (this will act as the 'glue' for sealing the dumplings).
Step 5
Place a wonton wrapper flat on your working surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the pork filling into the center of the wrapper.
Step 6
Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with the cornstarch-water mixture. Bring the edges of the wrapper up and pleat them together at the top to seal, creating a small pouch shape. Pinch firmly to secure. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 7
Prepare your steamer setup by filling a pot with about 1 liter of water and bringing it to a boil over medium-high heat. Line the steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Place the dumplings in the steamer, ensuring they are not touching each other. Cover the steamer and steam for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork filling is fully cooked and the dumpling skins are tender.
Step 9
Remove the dumplings carefully from the steamer and serve immediately with soy dipping sauce on the side, if desired.
