Ingredients
- Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Water
- 1/4 cup (for steaming)
- Wonton wrappers
- 20-24 pieces
- Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon
- Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons
- Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon, grated
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Green onions
- 3, finely sliced
- Ground pork
- 1 pound
- Bok choy
- 2 cups, finely chopped
- Dipping sauce (optional)
- to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped bok choy, ground pork, sliced green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Take a wonton wrapper and place a spoonful of the filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, then fold it in half diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the dumplings in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet (it will steam) and immediately cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for about 5 minutes, or until they are cooked through and the water has evaporated.
- Serve the dumplings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a mixture of soy sauce and rice vinegar, or a spicy chili oil.
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, substitute ground pork with finely chopped mushrooms or tofu.
- Experiment with different fillings; shredded cabbage, carrots, or even shrimp can make delicious alternatives.
- Dumplings can be frozen before cooking. Place them on a baking sheet in a single layer until frozen, then transfer to a freezer bag for later use.
