20 Chinese Fried Pork Dumpling Recipe Dive Into Deliciousness!

Ingredients You'll Need

For the filling:

• 1 pound of ground pork
• 1/4 cup of finely chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup of chopped cabbage
• 1/4 cup of shredded carrot
• 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon of grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon of Chinese five-spice powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt

For the dough:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup of hot water
• 1/4 cup of cold water

Instructions

1. Make the filling:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, cabbage, carrot, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, Chinese five-spice powder, white pepper, and salt.
2. Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

2. Prepare the dough:

1. In a separate mixing bowl, add the all-purpose flour and make a well in the center.
2. Slowly pour in the hot water while mixing with a fork or chopsticks until the flour starts to form small clumps.
3. Add in the cold water and continue mixing until a rough dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

3. Assemble the dumplings:

1. After the dough has rested, roll it out on a floured surface until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
2. Using a round cookie cutter or glass, cut out circles from the dough.
3. Take one dough circle and place a spoonful of the filling in the center.
4. Dip your finger in a bowl of water and run it along the edge of the dough circle.
5. Fold the dough in half, pressing the edges together to seal the dumpling.
6. Create pleats along the edge of the dumpling by folding and pressing the dough together. This will give the dumpling a traditional shape and help seal the filling inside.
7. Repeat until all the dough and filling have been used.

4. Cook the dumplings:

1. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
2. Add the dumplings to the skillet, making sure they are not touching each other.
3. Let the dumplings cook for about 2 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
4. Once the bottom is cooked, add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover with a lid.
5. Let the dumplings steam for 5-6 minutes until the water has evaporated and the dumplings are cooked through.
6. Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for an additional minute until they are crispy.
7. Repeat until all the dumplings are cooked.

5. Serve and enjoy!

1. Remove the dumplings from the skillet and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
2. Garnish with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
3. Enjoy your delicious Chinese fried pork dumplings!
