Ingredients

• 450 grams Ground pork
• 3 pieces Green onions, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 30 pieces Dumpling wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Step 2

Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean work surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture into the center of the wrapper.

Step 3

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your fingers. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal tightly, ensuring there are no air bubbles.

Step 4

Repeat the process with the remaining pork mixture and dumpling wrappers until all dumplings are assembled.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Arrange the dumplings in the skillet, leaving a little space between each one to prevent them from sticking together.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Gently pour 0.5 cup of water into the skillet and quickly cover with a lid. The water will create steam to cook the dumplings fully.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to medium and allow the dumplings to steam for 6-8 minutes, or until the water has mostly evaporated.

Step 10

Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for another 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.

Step 11

Transfer the dumplings to a serving plate and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
