Servings: 4

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.
