Dumplings

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup ground pork (or your choice of protein)
  • 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the water, stirring until a dough begins to form. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp towel and set aside for 30 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, mix together the ground pork, cabbage, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and pepper. Ensure all ingredients are well combined.
  3. After resting, divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Roll each ball into a circle, about 3 inches in diameter.
  4. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal tightly, forming a dumpling.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of vegetable oil. Place the dumplings in the skillet and fry for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
  6. Carefully add a splash of water to the pan, cover immediately, and steam for an additional 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Remove the lid to let any remaining water evaporate.
  7. Serve the dumplings hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce!

Enjoy your homemade dumplings, perfect for sharing with loved ones during celebrations or simply as a delicious meal any day of the week!
