How to Make Beijing Style Pork Shrimp Jiaozi Chinese Dumplings

  1. Prepare the pork filling: In a large bowl, combine ground pork (1 lb), minced shrimp (8 oz), finely chopped scallions (2), minced ginger (1 tbsp), soy sauce (2 tbsp), sesame oil (1 tbsp), Shaoxing wine (1 tbsp), and salt (1 tsp) to taste. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Make the dumpling dough: In a separate bowl, combine flour (3 cups) and water (1 cup), gradually adding water until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Assemble the dumplings: Roll out the dough into thin circles (about 3 inches in diameter). Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, crimping the edges to seal. Repeat until all the filling is used.
  4. Cook the dumplings: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the dumplings and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.
  5. Serve immediately: Serve the delicious Beijing-style pork and shrimp jiaozi hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce mixed with vinegar and chili oil.
