Steamed Pork and Summer Squash Dumplings Directions
- Fill a small bowl with water and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground pork, garlic, green onions, summer squash, sesame,oil, ginger, salt, and soy sauce until well-incorporated. With the bowl of water nearby to use as a dumpling glue if needed, start making the dumplings. Place a teaspoon of this filling in the center of a wrapper, and fold the wrapper over to make a half moon. Start pinching one end of the wrapper to seal, heading towards the middle. When you’re a third of the way towards the end, use your index finger to push the middle of the opposite side of the wrapper so that it meets in a triangle shape. Use your thumb, middle, and index fingers to pinch the seams of the triangle dumping to ensure that it’s sealed. Arrange the dumplings on a clean surface as you go, and continue to make dumplings until either all the filling or wrappers are used.
- Line a steamer with parchment paper or lettuce leaves. Arrange dumplings in the steamer basket, and for best results, make sure they’re not touching each other. Steam over simmering water for 10-12 minutes. Serve hot, with a little soy sauce for dipping.
