A favorite of mine, and very easy to make! […]

What you’ll need for the filling:

  • 1 pound chopped pork
  • Soy sauce
  • Sake
  • Brown sugar
  • Scallions

What you’ll need for the wrappers:

  • Wonton wrappers

or

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup water

Now let’s get started!

First, mix in a splash of sake and soy sauce into the pork. Throw in a couple of pinches of brown sugar, then slice up some scallion green and toss in. Not too much, maybe just a few teaspoons. Mix this up well and let sit for 1 hour.

Once the meat is ready you can just fill some store bought wonton wrappers or make your own! To make you own simple combine 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of water (adding a little of each until the dough is not too dry/sticky) and roll it out real thin. Fill each dumpling with about 1 teaspoon of meat.

Steam dumplings for 6 – 8 minutes and dip in your favorite sauce. You can also pan-fry or deep fry these. Better yet, boil some up in some chicken broth for 5 minutes for some excellent wonton soup! Garnish with scallions

Here comes the best part! You can freeze uncooked dumplings and save for later!
