Rice Flour - 1 cup
Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
Water - 1 cup
Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
For the Filling:
Ground Pork - 1 pound
Shallots - 3, finely chopped
Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
Ginger - 1 inch, grated
Carrots - 1/2 cup, finely chopped
Wood Ear Mushrooms - 1/4 cup, rehydrated and finely chopped
Green Onions - 1/4 cup, finely chopped
Coriander - 1/4 cup, finely chopped
Soy Sauce - 2 tablespoons
Fish Sauce - 1 tablespoon
Sesame Oil - 1 tablespoon
Sugar - 1 teaspoon
Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions:
1. Make the Dumpling Wrapper
In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Add in the water gradually, stirring until a smooth and elastic dough forms.
Knead the dough for a few minutes, then cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
Using a circular cookie cutter or a round glass, cut out wrappers about 3 inches in diameter.
Repeat until all the dough is used up, then cover the wrappers with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
2. Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, shallots, garlic, ginger, carrots, wood ear mushrooms, green onions, and coriander.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Pour the sauce over the pork mixture and mix well until everything is evenly coated.
3. Assemble the Dumplings
Place a heaping teaspoon of the filling onto the center of a wrapper.
Wet the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold the wrapper in half and pinch the edges to seal.
Bring the two corners of the sealed edge together and pinch to seal, forming a crescent shape.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
4. Cook the Dumplings
In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil.
Add in the dumplings, a few at a time, and gently stir to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the dumplings float to the surface and the wrappers become translucent.
Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and place them on a serving plate.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
Serve the Vietnamese pork dumplings hot, with a side of soy sauce or chili sauce for dipping.
Garnish with some extra chopped green onions and coriander for added flavor and freshness.
