Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
  • ¾ cup hot water (about 180ml)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup ground pork (150g) or tofu for a vegetarian option
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (30ml)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (15ml)
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (30ml) for frying
  • Water, for steaming

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add hot water and mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Wrap in cling film and let rest.
  2. In a bowl, mix the ground pork/tofu, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, ginger, garlic, and seasoning.
  3. Roll out the dough into a thin sheet, cut out circles (about 3 inches in diameter). Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle, fold in half and pinch to seal.
  4. Heat oil in a frying pan, place dumplings, and fry until golden brown on the bottom (about 2-3 minutes). Add water to the pan, cover with a lid, and steam for 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Remove the lid, allow any excess water to evaporate, and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
