Instructions
- Wash and cut 3 cups of garlic chives (9 oz) into pieces.
- Cut ¼ head of small cabbage (6 oz) into pieces.
- After that, put 1 pound of ground pork into the mixing bowl. ( I used 85% lean, 15% fat ground pork.)
- Next, put 3 cups of garlic chives (9oz) from step 1 into the mixing bowl.
- Put the chopped cabbage from step 2 into the mixing bowl.
- Then, add ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and ¼ cup of oyster sauce.
- Mix the ingredients very well.
- In this homemade boiled dumpling recipe, I like to use homemade dumpling wrappers. Therefore, I suggest rolling and flattening the wrappers before wrapping it. Then, take a wrapper, dip some water on the finger and round the wrapper. Put a teaspoon sized filling on the wrapper.
- After, fold it half and close it like a dome shaped.
- Dip some water at the corners and bring the corners together. Detail see the video below the recipe card.
- Repeat steps 8 to 10, until the filling is gone. (It can make around 60-70 dumplings. You can freeze them if you need.)
- Pour 6 cups of water into the wok. When the water is boiling, put the dumplings in and stir it a little bit.
- Cover the lid and wait until it boils. Open the lid, and add ½ cups of cold water. Close the lid. Repeat this step for 2-3 times until the dumplings are cooked. (I usually do it 3 times, especially when I use homemade dumpling wrappers.)
- When the boiled dumplings are done, use a strainer to take it out.
- Put the boiled dumplings into a bowl.
- Meanwhile, in a glass container, put 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, ½ tablespoon of black Chinese vinegar and ½ teaspoon of chili oil (depends on your spiciness). Mix the dipping sauce well.
- Drizzle some dipping sauce from step 16 and topping with some green onion (this is optional).
Notes
- Don't put too much filling and make sure the dumplings are sealed well without leaking.
- Make sure the water is boiling, then add the dumplings.
- Stir it, cover the lid and let the dumplings boil and float on the top of the water. Then, add ½ cup of cold water, cover the lid and let it boil until it floats again. Repeat this for 2-3 times or until they are cooked. (I usually add water 3 times with homemade dumpling wrappers.)
- Don't worry if you don't master how to wrap it nicely. This took me years to master it as well. Therefore, you just keep practicing. Then, you will get it eventually.
- Usually, I make a big batch and freeze them.
