There is something extra comforting and delicious about homemade, and these boiled dumplings are easier to make than you might think.
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
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.
