Homemade Pork Dumplings
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped Chinese chives
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped Chinese chives
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 50 dumpling wrappers
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
Instructions
1
Create the dipping sauce by blending together soy sauce, rice vinegar, chives, sesame seeds, and chili sauce in a small bowl. Set it aside momentarily.
2
Prepare the dumplings by blending pork, garlic, egg, chives, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger in a large bowl until everything is perfectly incorporated.
3
Place a dumpling wrapper on a lightly dusted work surface and spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center.
4
Dampen the edge with a small amount of water and press together to form small pleats, sealing the dumpling in the process. Continue this process to create the remaining dumplings.
5
Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place 8 to 10 dumplings in the pan and cook until browned, taking about 2 minutes per side.
6
Pour in 1 cup of water; cover the pan and cook until the dumplings are tender and the pork is cooked through, taking about 5 minutes.
7
Repeat this process to cook the remaining dumplings, adding more oil and water as needed for each batch.
8
Serve the dumplings with the dipping sauce.
