Why We Love This Recipe

There’s something satisfying about making dumplings from scratch. While folding them takes a little time, the ingredients are simple, the cooking method is foolproof, and the results feel restaurant-worthy. Using a steamer keeps the dumplings juicy and tender while eliminating the need for excess oil. Finish them with chili crisp, soy sauce, and fresh green onions for an easy meal that delivers big flavour.

Ingredients

For the Dumplings

• 1 package dumpling wrappers (approximately 30 wrappers)
• 1 lb ground pork
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

For Serving

• Soy sauce
• Chili crisp
• Sliced green onions

Instructions

1. Make the filling
   In a bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper.
2. Fill the dumplings
   Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the centre of each wrapper. Wet the edges with water, fold, and pinch to seal.
3. Steam
   Bring water to a simmer in your Steamer Pot. Line the steamer basket with parchment paper or lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking. Arrange the dumplings in a single layer and steam for 10–12 minutes, or until cooked through.
4. Serve
   Transfer to a plate and top with soy sauce, chili crisp, and sliced green onions. Enjoy immediately. 🍜🥟
