Chinese-Style Steamed Dumplings with Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 package round wonton wrappers, thawed
• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions, plus extra for garnish
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• Dipping sauce: 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup Chinese vinegar
• 1 tablespoon chili oil

Method

1. 1Combine ground pork, chopped green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl, mixing until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
2. 2Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface, and place a tablespoon of the pork filling in the center of the wrapper.
3. 3Dip your finger in a small amount of water, and run it along the edges of the wrapper.
4. 4Fold the wrapper into a triangle by bringing the two opposite corners together to form a point, and press the edges together to seal the dumpling.
5. 5Place the dumplings in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch of space between each dumpling to allow for even cooking.
6. 6Steam the dumplings over boiling water for 8-10 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.
7. 7While the dumplings are cooking, mix the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
8. 8Serve the steamed dumplings hot with the dipping sauce, garnished with extra chopped green onions.
