Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine 12 oz ground pork, 3 finely chopped green onions, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 2: Place a heaping teaspoon of pork filling in the center of each of the 30 dumpling wrappers. Moisten edges with water and fold to seal, pleating as desired.
Step 3: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange dumplings in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Step 4: Carefully pour 1/4 cup water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid to steam. Cook for 6-7 minutes until water has evaporated and pork is cooked through.
Step 5: Meanwhile, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp grated ginger, and 1 chopped green onion for the dipping sauce.
Step 6: Serve dumplings hot with the ginger-scallion dipping sauce on the side.
