How to Make Steamed Pork Dumplings
- In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground pork, 2 green onions (finely chopped), 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped), 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp cornstarch, and 1 egg white. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Working with 6 dumpling wrappers at a time, place 2 teaspoons of the pork mixture in the center of each wrapper.
- Bring the four corners of the wrapper up towards the top of the filling, pleating the sides to form a cup. Press the wrapper snugly around the filling; the top does not need to be fully sealed.
- Keep the assembled dumplings covered with a dampened tea towel to prevent them from drying out.
- Place a bamboo steamer basket in a large pot and add enough water to reach just below the base of the steamer.
- Line the steamer basket with cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. (Important: Do not omit this step!)
- Arrange a single layer of dumplings on top of the cabbage leaves.
- Cover the pot and steam for 8-10 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. Do not overcook!
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce (recipe #397489 recommended).
