Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons low sodium chicken broth
- 40 pieces dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and low sodium chicken broth. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 2
Lay a dumpling wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Step 3
Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper in half to form a semicircle, pressing the edges together to seal and creating pleats for an aesthetic finish if desired.
Step 4
Repeat the filling and folding process with the remaining wrappers and pork mixture.
Step 5
Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 6
Arrange the dumplings in the skillet, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Step 7
Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Carefully add 1 cup of water to the skillet, covering immediately to avoid splatter.
Step 9
Reduce the heat to medium and steam the dumplings until most of the water evaporates, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 10
Uncover the skillet and allow the remaining water to evaporate and the bottoms of the dumplings to crisp up again, around 2-3 minutes.
Step 11
Remove the dumplings from the skillet and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
