Yum Yum, Pork-Filled Dim Sum Recipe
I love dumplings and this pork-filled dim sum is my go-to. I love that I can serve this whatever the day is. People love it as much as I do.
Ingredients
1 pound ground pork (minced pork) - lean
2 tablespoons soy sauce - low-sodium- 2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 teaspoon ginger - finely chopped
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons green onions (scallions or green shallots) - finely chopped
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 cloves garlic - finely chopped
2 packages wonton wrappers
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, except wonton wrappers (the filling can be made several hours in advance, tightly covered, in the refrigerator). When thoroughly combined, take a heaping teaspoon and place it in the centre of a wonton or dim sum wrapper. Close the filled wonton lightly, at the top, like a slightly open purse or bag. Put on a large plate. Continue the process until all of the fillings have been used.
- Lightly oil both bottoms of a two-level bamboo steamer. Place the filled Dim Sum inside the steamer, and make sure they do not touch one another (they will stick together as they cook if they are too close). Fill both levels of the steamer.
- Use a wok, and fill it with several inches of water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Place the two-level steamer on top of the boiling water. Steam the dim sum for about 10 minutes or until the pork filling inside reaches about 145 degrees Celsius (you will know they are done; they will be firm). Turn off the burner. Use pot holders to remove the steamer from the wok. Using tongs, place the freshly cooked dim sum on a plate. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
