Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 3 green onions, diced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced/paste
  • 3 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 24 dumpling wrappers
  • 2 tsp avocado oil

Optional Dumpling Toppings

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Combine the ground pork, green onions, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sugar, sesame oil, white pepper and salt in a bowl and use clean hands to really mix everything together. The mixture should stick together and not be crumbly.
  • Roll the meat mixture into 24 small balls, about 1 heaping tsp size, and place on a clean plate.
  • Cover each ball with one dumpling wrapper, and squeeze around the edges, covering like a blanket. You can now cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge until ready to make (up to 24 hours) or cook right away.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet (with lid) over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp avocado oil to the pan. Once hot, place the dumplings in the skillet, spaced about 1 to 2 inches apart (you may have to cook these in two batches).
  • Pour 1/2 cup of water in the hot skillet, over the dumplings, and then cover with the lid. Let the dumplings steam for about 6 minutes, then remove the lid, and allow to cook until the water in the pan has evaporated - should only take an additional minute or two.
  • Garnish the dumplings with more sliced green onions and optional toppings if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Here's my favorite quick and easy dipping sauce to make with these pork dumplings:
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 to 2 tsp sugar
Stir until sugar is dissolved and use to dip your dumplings in it!
