The Best Steamed Pork Dumplings
These steamed pork dumplings can be served as an appetizer with dipping sauce or cooked in chicken broth.
Ingredients
- 36 sheets pot sticker wraps
2 ½ tablespoons sesame oil- 1 small bowl water
- ½ pound ground pork (minced pork)
- 1 ½ cups cabbage - chopped
- 1 ½ cups carrots
- 1 ½ cups celery
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon sugar (white sugar) - granulated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon oyster sauce
- ½ tablespoon soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon sesame oil
- ½ tablespoon sake - or white wine
- ½ tablespoon ginger - chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onions (scallions or green shallots) - chopped
Instructions
- Place ground pork and chopped vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Add salt, pepper, sugar, corn starch, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, wine/sake, ginger, and green onions to the mixing bowl. With clean hands, combine ingredients until well-blended.
- Place 1 ½ teaspoon of filling in the center of each dough wrap. Dip your fingertips in a small bowl of water and wet the top edge of the dough. Fold in half, matching the dry edge to the damp edge and pleat to seal. (Note: This step is infinitely easier with an Asian dumpling press like the one pictured above.) Repeat with the remaining dough wraps.
- Arrange the dumplings in a bamboo or stainless steel steamer and cook them for 8-10 minutes.
- Serve immediately with dipping sauce. The recipe makes 36 dumplings.
