Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground pork
• 100 grams Prunes (pitted and finely chopped)
• 3 stalks Green onion (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 30 pieces Dumpling wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 50 milliliters Water (for sealing dumplings)
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 100 milliliters Water (for steaming during cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, prunes, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 2

Lightly dust your work surface with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Lay out the dumpling wrappers one at a time.

Step 3

Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center of each wrapper.

Step 4

Dip your finger into the 50 milliliters of water and run it along the edge of the dumpling wrapper.

Step 5

Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape, pressing firmly to seal the edges. If desired, pleat the edges for a more decorative design.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Place the dumplings flat side down in the skillet (do not overcrowd) and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 8

Pour 100 milliliters of water into the skillet, immediately covering it with a lid to steam the dumplings. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the dumplings are cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the dumplings from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining dumplings, adding more oil as needed.

Step 10

Serve the dumplings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or a vinegar-chili blend.
