Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 cups finely chopped Napa cabbage
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 24 round dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 pound of ground pork, 2 cups of finely chopped Napa cabbage, 1/4 cup of chopped green onions, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of minced fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Place a small spoonful of the pork mixture in the center of a dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold over, and press to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes.
- Carefully pour in 1/2 cup of water, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the dumplings are tender.
- Uncover and cook until the liquid has evaporated and the bottoms are crispy again, about 2 minutes.
- Serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Pork dumplings, also known as potstickers, have a rich history dating back to ancient China. These delectable morsels are believed to have originated in the Jin Dynasty and were initially enjoyed as a royal delicacy. Over time, they gained popularity and became a staple in Chinese cuisine. The filling typically consists of ground pork, garlic, ginger, and cabbage, wrapped in a thin dough and then either steamed, boiled, or pan-fried. Renowned chefs like Chef Wang in Beijing and Chef Lee in Shanghai are celebrated for their mastery in crafting these savory dumplings. Today, the best pork dumplings can be savored in bustling dim sum restaurants in cities like Hong Kong and New York. The key to perfecting this dish lies in achieving the ideal balance of flavors in the filling and ensuring the dough is thin and delicate. For a unique twist, some chefs incorporate alternative ingredients such as shrimp or mushrooms into the filling, adding a delightful complexity to the traditional recipe.
