Steamed Pork Dumplings

Ingredients

• 500g lean pork mince 
• 600g wombok very finely chopped (approx. half a large wombok) 
• 4 spring onions finely sliced 
• 2 tsp minced ginger
• 1 tsp crushed garlic
• 3 tsp reduced salt soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 packs of fresh dumpling/gyoza wrappers

Method

1. Add sliced wombok, pork mince, sliced spring onions, ginger, salt-reduced soy sauce and sesame oil to a bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine (using your hands works best). 
2. Place a teaspoon full of filling into each wrapper. Brush a little water around the edges of the dumpling wrapper and seal my pinching and folding the edges together.
3. Place dumplings in a steamer and steam for 7-8 mins.
4. Serve.

Uncooked dumplings can be frozen in batches and cooked straight from frozen. Steam frozen dumplings for 10 minutes.

Substitutions

• Swap pork mince for chicken mince.
• Use chives instead of spring onions.
