INGREDIENTS:

  •  

     Wrappers
    18 oz flour
    10 oz water


    Filling
    10 oz ground pork
    5 oz Chinese cabbage minced
    2 bunches of cilantro chopped
    3 1/2 oz ginger chopped
    2 cloves of garlic chopped
    1 tbs dark soy sauce
    1 tbs sesame oil


    Sauce
    4 tbs light soy sauce
    1 tbs sesame oil
    1 tbs vinegar
    2 cloves of garlic chopped
    Pepper



     


     

  • DIRECTIONS:

     

    Combine the flour and water; roll the dough out thinly on a work surface.
     

    Using a cutter, cut out rounds 12 cm (5") in diameter.
     

    Combine the ingredients for the filling.
     

    Place a small amount of filling in the center of each dough circle and fold over to form a plump semi-circle.
     

    Usually the traditional crescent moon shape is chosen. In this case, using the thumb and index finger of your right hand, roll the border of each dumpling, then using the thumb and index finger of each hand, press lightly to form the crescent.

     

    This step is called "modeling happiness." In some families, both ends are joined by curving the shape more in order to give it the shape of a silver ingot.
     

    Place the dumplings one at a time into a large pot of boiling water; once they rise to the surface, drain and transfer to a plate.
    Combine the ingredients for the sauce; serve in small individual dishes
