Homemade Pork & Chive Dumplings
Pork and garlicky chives make these dumplings made with super simple ingredients!
Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Chopsticks
- Knife
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork shoulder/butt
- 2 cups chopped chives
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dashi
- 1 pkg store bought dumpling wrappers (recipe to make your own).
Instructions
Dumpling Filling
- Chop chives into fine pieces, mix with sesame oil and set aside.
- Cut pork shoulder/butt into thin slices and throw it into the Food Processor to grind (you may also do this by hand if you don't have a food processor). Use the double knife technique!
- Mix in dashi, soy sauce, ginger and marinated chives. Mix to combine.
Wrapping Dumplings
- Take a small teaspoon of filling and put it in the middle of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper together and sealing the seams together tightly. If you're feeling fancy, pleat them but tucking in a piece of the wrapper a bit at a time (this will take time to perfect but so satisfying once you get it and it makes for a better chew).
- Place wrapped dumpling on a lined cookie sheet and do a bunch more.
