Servings: 48
Preparation duration: 30 minutes
Cooking duration: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1 egg
1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 small cloves)
2 teaspoons minced raw ginger
12 ounces ground pork
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
Juice of 2 large lemons (or 3 smaller ones)
1 small bunch of scallions, divided
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
1 package of round 48 wonton/dumpling wrappers (I only found square so I used a biscuit cutter to make them round)
Equipment:
whisk
frying pan
wooden spoon
bowl
paper towels
Cooking instruction summary:
First, make the dipping sauce. Whisk soy sauce, Sriracha, and lemon juice together. Set aside until ready to serve. To begin the dumplings, take half of the bunch of scallions and chop completely (whites and greens). Set the other half aside for garnish. Add sesame oil to a saute pan and heat over medium-high. Once hot, add garlic, ginger, and chopped scallions. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. You just want to remove the raw taste from the ingredients, not fully cook them. Remove from heat and set aside. Add ground pork, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and egg in large bowl with sauteed mixture. Using a wooden spoon (or even your hands), combine mixture until uniform. Grab your wonton wrappers. Place about 1 1/2 teaspoons of pork mixture into the center of each dumpling. Brush a little water around the edge of the wonton with your finger. Seal the dumpling shut by pinching the sides together, making sure to get all the excess air out. Once the dumpling is shut and sealed, create the pleats using your thumb and forefinger (YouTube videos are great for seeing this technique in action!). You should have a cute little purse when youre done. Set the dumpling flat on some flour (so it doesnt stick). Repeat with the rest of the wonton wrappers. Heat a large saute pan with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over high heat. Place half of the dumplings into hot oil and fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and drain over paper towels. Repeat with second tablespoon of oil and remaining dumplings. Reduce heat to medium-high. Place first batch of dumplings back into saute pan. Add 1/2 cup of water so that it rises up the dumplings about halfway. Cover dumplings and let them cook/steam for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and repeat with second batch. Chop remaining scallions and garnish dumplings with them. Serve immediately with Sriracha Soy Sauce and enjoy!
