Ingredients

• 300 g ground pork
• 1 tbsp ginger
• 1 tbsp garlic
• 2 stalks green onion
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
• 0.5 tsp white pepper
• 30 pieces dumpling wrappers
• 2 tbsp chili oil
• 1 tsp Sichuan peppercorns
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1.5 tbsp black vinegar
• 1 tbsp ground Sichuan chili flakes
• 2 tbsp hot water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced ginger, garlic, and finely chopped green onions.

Step 2

Add soy sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, and white pepper to the pork mixture. Mix well until the filling is thoroughly combined and cohesive.

Step 3

Set up a dumpling workspace with dumpling wrappers, a small bowl of water, and the pork filling.

Step 4

Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of a wrapper. Dip your finger in water and run it along the edges of the wrapper to create a seal. Fold the wrapper into a half-moon shape and press the edges tightly to seal. Repeat for all wrappers.

Step 5

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the dumplings in batches and cook until they float to the top, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine chili oil, black vinegar, Sichuan peppercorns, ground chili flakes, sugar, and hot water. Stir well to create the sauce.

Step 7

Pour the sauce generously over the cooked dumplings and garnish with chopped green onions or extra chili oil as desired.
