These fried, then steamed, dumplings are incredibly morish- I have eaten 12 and looked for more! The portion below makes about 45-50 dumplings. I normally freeze half of the mixture. It never stays in the freezer too long! If you have ginger oil, add it to the frying oil for extra flavour.

Ingredients

400 g ground pork
2 spring onions
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 inches minced ginger
1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
25 dumpling wrappers
vegetable oil (for frying)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
3 drops sesame oil
minced ginger (to garnish)

Steps:

Mix the pork, spring onions, ginger, egg, chili sauce, soy sauce and seasame oil in a food processor. This is your dumpling filling.
Wet the edges of the dumpling wrappers with water, put a dollop of filling in the center and press and fold the edges together to seal.
Heat the vegetable oil for frying- you can also add a few drops of ginger and sesame oil to this for extra flavour. About 2 tablespoons in total is ample.
Fry about 12 dumplings at a time in the oil, turning to brown. When they have been frying for about 2 minutes, add 0.5 cup of water to the pan and cook until the water is absorbed. I normally cover the pan for the first two minutes of this cooking time to ensure they are well steamed.
Remove and served with the dipping sauce.
For the sauce:.
Combine the sauce ingredients and garnish with the chopped ginger.

Use fresh ingredients. Pork dumplings are best made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Look for ground pork that is lean and has a good flavor. Also, use fresh vegetables, such as cabbage, carrots, and onions.
Season the filling well. The filling for pork dumplings should be well-seasoned with a variety of spices and herbs. This will help to give the dumplings a delicious flavor.
Fold the dumplings correctly. The dumplings should be folded tightly so that the filling does not leak out. There are a few different ways to fold dumplings, so find a method that you are comfortable with.
Cook the dumplings properly. Pork dumplings can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, and pan-frying. Make sure to cook the dumplings according to the instructions in the recipe.
