Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground pork
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 package of round dumpling wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Dipping sauce (soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, garlic, ginger, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
- Place a small amount of the pork mixture in the center of a dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it in half and press to seal.
- Continue filling and folding the rest of the dumpling wrappers until all the filling is used.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the dumplings in a single layer and cook until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Once the bottoms are browned, add water to the skillet until it reaches about halfway up the dumplings. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the water has evaporated.
- Remove the cover and let the dumplings cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to crisp up the bottoms.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
