Chinese Chives and Pork Dumpling (韮菜豬肉水餃)

on



Ingredients:

1 lb        Ground Pork (or any meat you like)
1 lb        Chinese Chives
1 pkg     Chinese Dumpling Wrappers
1            Egg
2 Tbsp   Cooling Oil

Marinate:
1 Tbsp   Fish Sauce
1 Tbsp  Oyster Sauce
1 Tbsp   Salt
2 Tbsp   Soy Sauce
2 tsp      Pepper
2 tsp      Garlic Powder
2 tsp      Ginger Powder
2 Tbsp  Mirin (Japanese cooking wine)
2 Tbsp   Corn Starch
1 cup     Water (or chicken stock for added flavor)


Method:
  1. Marinate ground pork with all the marinate ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Don't worry if the water added seems a lot  at the beginning as the pork will absorb the liquid once you started to stir it.
  2. Stir the pork mixture in 1 direction for about 2 minutes until it's all combined and becomes a paste (or sticky)
  3. Clean and cut Chives into small pieces and mix with cooking oil
  4. Combine the chives into the pork mixture
  5. Add egg and mix well
  6. Put a tablespoon dumpling mixture in the dumpling wrapper, wet the edges of the wrapper, fold and pinch the side to close and make the dumpling.     
  7. Boil a pot of water and boil the dumplings until cooked (they are cooked when they float to the top)

We really like to eat these yummy dumplings with soy sauce and hot sauce.  You can also add them into chicken stock and it'll become dumpling soup.

Enjoy!
