Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground pork
• 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground white pepper
• 50 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Canola oil
• 0 For sealing Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped green onions, minced ginger, minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground white pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Step 2

Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface, keeping the rest covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out.

Step 3

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the pork mixture onto the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper.

Step 5

Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle or half-moon shape, pressing the edges together to seal the filling inside. Ensure there are no air bubbles and the edges are tightly sealed.

Step 6

Place the finished dumpling on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat the process until all the fillings and wrappers have been used.

Step 7

Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add half of the dumplings in a single layer, making sure they do not touch each other.

Step 8

Cook the dumplings for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 9

Pour 1/4 cup of water into the skillet, being careful of sizzling. Cover the skillet immediately with a lid to create steam.

Step 10

Allow the dumplings to steam for 4-5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes to evaporate excess water and crisp the bottoms.

Step 11

Remove the cooked dumplings and place them on an absorbent paper towel to remove excess oil. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining dumplings.

Step 12

Serve the low-sodium fried pork dumplings immediately with additional low-sodium soy sauce or vinegar for dipping, if desired.
