Pork And Chive Dumplings (猪肉韭菜水饺) Recipe

pork

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground chicken

Ground turkey reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

dumpling wrappers

🥗Healthier: rice paper

💰Cheaper: wonton wrappers

Wonton wrappers are often more accessible and less expensive.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is more affordable and neutral in flavor.

chives

🥗Healthier: green onions

💰Cheaper: scallions

Scallions offer a similar flavor profile at a lower cost.

Mix ground pork, garlic chives, grated ginger, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, salt, sugar, ground white pepper, and toasted sesame oil in a bowl until well combined.

Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface and add a spoonful of filling in the center.

Wet the edges of the dumpling wrapper with water to help seal it.

Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

Repeat the process until all filling is used up.

Prepare a steamer over boiling water and place the dumplings in a single layer on a steaming tray.

Steam the dumplings for about 10-12 minutes until the pork is cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.
