Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, mix 1 lb ground pork, 3 finely chopped green onions, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp sesame oil until well combined.
Step 2: Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface and spoon about 1 tsp of pork filling into the center. Moisten the edges with water and fold to seal, creating pleats to close the dumpling. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 3: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat until shimmering. Arrange dumplings in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes until bottoms are golden brown.
Step 4: Carefully add 1/2 cup water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid. Steam dumplings for 6-7 minutes until the pork is fully cooked and wrappers are tender.
Step 5: Remove lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes until water evaporates and bottoms crisp again.
Step 6: For the dipping sauce, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp grated ginger. Serve dumplings hot with the sauce.
