Authentic Chinese Pork Dumplings Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped Chinese chives
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)
• 1 pound ground pork
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped Chinese chives
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 50 dumpling wrappers
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Instructions

1. First, prepare the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, chives, sesame seeds, and chile-garlic sauce. Set aside for serving.
2. For the dumplings, combine ground pork, garlic, egg, chives, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger in a large bowl. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.
3. Place a dumpling wrapper on a lightly floured surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture into the center of the wrapper.
4. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Fold and crimp the edges together, creating small pleats to seal the dumpling. Repeat this process for all remaining dumplings.
5. Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange 8 to 10 dumplings in the skillet and cook for approximately 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
6. Pour 1 cup of water into the skillet. Cover the skillet and let the dumplings steam until they are tender and the pork filling is fully cooked, about 5 minutes.
7. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining dumplings, adding more oil and water as needed for each batch.
8. Serve your homemade Chinese pork dumplings hot with the prepared dipping sauce.
