There is something extra comforting and delicious about homemade dumplings, and these ones are a snap to make.
Preparation
STEP 1
In a medium bowl combine pork, green onions, ginger, cilantro, soy sauce, salt, oil, and white pepper.
STEP 2
Taking one sheet of wrapper at a time place just under a tablespoon of filling in the center of each round, fold into a half-moon and pinch the edges to seal - very tightly to keep them from opening while cooking. (Sometimes a little water can help to seal).
STEP 3
Place formed dumplings on parchment paper lightly dusted with flour or cornstarch.
STEP 4
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add dumplings in batches, taking care not to over-crowd. Return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes, or until dumplings float and the dough is firm.
STEP 5
Enjoy hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Options
Customize the filling by adding finely chopped kimchi or cabbage, stirring in finely chopped shrimp, or swapping the ground pork for one of our Asian-inspired ground chicken blends from the meat department for an easy twist.
To make your own dough, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour with ¾ cup water and knead into a slightly sticky dough. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes. When the dough has rested, cut it in half and roll each half into a rope about 1-1 1/4 inches in diameter. Cut each rope into disks about 1/4-inch thick and roll each disk into a thin round. Dust each round with flour to keep them from sticking to each other.
