Ingredients
- 500 g ground pork
- 150 g kimchi
- 3 stalks green onions
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 inch ginger
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 40 units dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the kimchi and squeeze out excess liquid. Set aside.
Step 2
Slice the green onions thinly and grate the ginger.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, chopped kimchi, green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, salt, pepper, and rice vinegar. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 4
Take a dumpling wrapper and place it in the palm of your hand. Add a teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper.
Step 5
Dip your finger in water and wet the edge of the dumpling wrapper.
Step 6
Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges to seal. You can pleat the edges for an authentic look. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 7
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Arrange the dumplings in the skillet, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Step 9
Cook the dumplings for about 2 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Step 10
Carefully pour 4 tablespoons of water into the pan and immediately cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for 5 minutes.
Step 11
Remove the lid and continue cooking until any remaining water evaporates and the bottoms are crispy again, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 12
Remove from the skillet and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
