No-Fold Pan-Seared Dumplings by Tastingwiththomas

Ingredients

• 250g (9 oz) ground pork
• 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tsp garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 10-12 dumpling wrappers
• 3 tbsp water (for steaming)
• 1 tbsp neutral oil (for searing)

Instructions

1. Combine ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt in a bowl, mixing thoroughly by hand until well combined.
2. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
3. Spread the pork mixture into the pan in small, thin patties or a single layer, searing for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
4. Drape the dumpling wrappers directly over the top of the seared meat patties.
5. Add 3 tbsp of water to the pan and immediately cover with a tight-fitting lid.
6. Steam for 5 minutes until the wrappers are translucent and the pork is fully cooked through.
7. Remove the lid and serve immediately, flipping onto a plate so the golden meat side faces up.
