Pork & Chives dumplings

Pork & Chives dumplings

- 3 tbsp vegetable oil

- 1 lb ground pork

- 1 egg

- 4 cups Chinese chives, chopped finely

- 3 cups carrots, shredded

- 3 tbsp soy sauce

- 2 tbsp sesame oil

- 1 tsp white ground pepper (optional)

- 1 pinch salt

- 1 package round dumpling wrappers

1. In a small pot, heat the oil for about 5-6 mins or until is golden brown in colour. Get of the heat and let it cool down. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, add the ground pork and egg. Stir and add the rest of ingredients along with the cooled oil. Stir everything.

3. Have a small bowl of water on hand. To assemble the dumplings, spoon about 1 tbsp of this filling onto the center of each dumpling wrapper. Fold the sides of the wrapper. Press and pleat the edges to seal in the filling. Check out the pork & kimchi dumpling video for how to fold: https://www.facebook.com/RobInTheKitchen/videos/622379091253978/

1. You can pan-fry or boil the dumplings:

2. Pan-fry: heat 1 tbsp of oil, arrange the dumplings in the skillet, pleated edge up. Cook over medium heat until the bottoms are lightly browned, 2 minutes. Add ¼ cup of water, cover and cook until the filling is cooked through, 5 minutes. Uncover and cook until the bottoms are well browned, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and serve.

3. Boil: Add enough water to cover the dumpling. Cook until the filling is cooked through, 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a plate and serve.
