For the Dumpling Wrappers

For Cooking

Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, salt, pepper, and cornstarch (if using).
2. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. You can use your hands to ensure even mixing.
2. Assemble the Dumplings
1. Take a dumpling wrapper and place it in your palm.
2. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.
3. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water (using your finger).
4. Fold the wrapper in half and pinch the edges to seal tightly. You can also pleat the edges for a decorative touch. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Cook the Dumplings
You can cook the dumplings using one of the following methods:
**A. Steaming**
1. Place a steamer basket over boiling water. If you have bamboo steamer baskets, they're excellent for this purpose.
2. Arrange the dumplings in the steamer, ensuring they don’t touch.
3. Cover and steam for about 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through.
**B. Pan-Frying**
1. Heat a bit of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Place the dumplings in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
3. Add a bit of water to the skillet (about 1/4 cup) and cover immediately. The steam will cook the dumplings through.
4. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the water evaporates. Remove the lid and cook for an additional minute to crisp the bottoms.
4. Serve
- Serve the dumplings hot with dipping sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, and a touch of chili oil
