Ingredients

Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup warm water
  • ¼ tsp salt

Filling

  • ½ lb ground pork
  • ½ cup chopped scallions
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sichuan chili oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp minced ginger
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Dipping Sauce

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sichuan chili oil
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp sugar

Instructions

Make the Dough

  • Combine the flour, warm water, and salt in a large bowl. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

Make the Filling

  • In a fresh mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, scallions, garlic, soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, ginger, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.

Form the Dumplings

  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to ¼-inch thickness. Cut the dough into 3-inch circles.
  • Fill a small bowl with a tablespoon of water. Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle and use your finger to moisten one end of the dumpling circle. Fold the edges to seal the dumpling, and use a fork to pleat the edges of the dough.

Boil the Dumplings

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Then, add the dumplings and cook them for 6-8 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the top.

Make the Dipping Sauce

  • While the dumplings are boiling, combine the ingredients for the sauce
  • Serve the dumplings warm with dipping sauce
