EASY Pork & Chive Dumplings
Ingredients:
- 200g pork mince
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp chicken stock
- 2 tsp cornflour
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp sesame oil
- ¼ finely sliced spring onions
- A small clove of minced garlic
- Wonton wraps
- Mix all of the above with a fork until ‘pasty’.
- With one wrap, using your fingers or a brush, dampen half of the circle edge with water
- Add a small amount of filling (not too much, if too full they will burst, but enough to make it full, nothing worse than air pockets!)
- Close the wonton pressing edges together.
- Put into the dumpling maker and press firmly - then you’ll have perfect dumplings!!!
- Can be cooked fresh or easily frozen (and can be cooked directly from frozen).
- Nice with rice and steamed veg, or simply add into noodle soups.
- Note : if using in soup, boil the wontons separately in water and then add in at the last minute. They are starchy and will make the stock/soup heavy if boiled with the stock etc.
Three ways to cook:
- Steam in a steamer pot; or
- Boil gently in water for about 12 - 15 minutes (checking after about 10 to see if cooked); or
- Pan fried - a little oil in the pan, when lightly brown on one side, add a little hot stock and place a lid on quickly - careful as it will spit. Then steam gently till liquid evaporated - half fried / half steamed … so delicious!!
Serve with dipping sauce of choice:
- Sweet chilli sauce OR;
- 4 tbsp chilli oil / 4 tblsp light soy, 2 tbs white vinegar, ¼ clove finely chopped garlic & 2 tblsp finely sliced spring onion - mix all together
