Categories     Pork     Steam

Yield 30 dumplings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 lb ground pork
2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 1 large clove)
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
NOTE: egg whites can be used in lieu of cornstarch w water
1 package gyoza dumpling wrappers or thin wonton wrappers (round cut if available)
Optional if frying:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup chicken or beef stock

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the pork, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water. NOTE, egg whites can be used in lieu of cornstarch w water. Place about 1 tablespoon of pork filling in the center of each wrapper. With your finger, moisten the edges of the wrapper with the cornstarch mixture (or egg whites). Fold the wrapper over the filling and press the moistened edges starting from the middle and crimping the edges down to the ends. Sit dumplings on platter with ridge standing up, creating a flat bottom for cooking Dumplings can be steamed or fried/boiled. Steamed: Place the dumplings about 1/2-inch apart on steamer tray. Options: use cabbage leaves on base of tray; add a dash of mirin to steamer water. Heat enough water inside the steamer, wok or pot to boiling, place the steamer tray or insert over the water, and cover. Reduce the heat to a simmer and steam undisturbed until the dumplings are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Arrange the dumplings on a platter and garnish with the green onions. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce. Frying dumplings: Evenly heat (medium) vegetable oil in large high edge frying pan with lid. Place dumplings flat side down in pan. After bottom has browned, knock over on side, add stock and cover for steaming 8-10 minutes. Arrange the dumplings on a platter and garnish with the green onions. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dumplings didn't turn out very well. The wrappers were too thick and the filling was bland.

The dumplings were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of soy sauce in the filling next time.

These dumplings were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added more spices to the filling.

These dumplings were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would prefer a recipe that uses less oil.
