A delightful recipe for homemade dumplings filled with a savory pork and ginger mixture, perfect for any occasion.
Combine the ground pork, shredded carrot, chopped green onions, fresh ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar in a mixing bowl.
Mix the filling ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Take a wonton wrapper and place a small spoonful of the filling in the center.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water to help seal it properly.
Fold the wrapper over the filling and pinch the edges to seal, forming a dumpling.
Ensure there are no air pockets inside the dumpling to prevent it from bursting during cooking.
Place the dumplings in a steamer lined with parchment paper or lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Leave some space between the dumplings to allow steam to circulate evenly.
Steam the dumplings for about 8-10 minutes until the filling is fully cooked.
Check one dumpling to ensure the filling is cooked through before removing all from the steamer.
Mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and cilantro leaf in a small bowl to prepare the dipping sauce.
Adjust the sweetness or acidity of the sauce to your taste by adding more sugar or vinegar.
Serve the steamed dumplings hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
Garnish with additional chopped green onions or sesame seeds for a decorative touch.
