Join me and let's see how to make Soup Dumplings
Instructions:
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped green onions, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix well to create the dumpling filling.
Step 2
Place a small amount of the filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half and pleat the edges to seal, creating a small pouch. Make sure it's sealed tightly to prevent any broth from leaking.
Step 3
In a large steamer, brush the steaming racks with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place the dumplings on the racks, leaving some space in between each.
Step 4
Steam the dumplings for about 20-25 minutes until the wrappers become translucent and the dumplings are fully cooked.
Step 5
Serve the soup dumplings hot with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce and rice vinegar, and enjoy the flavorful broth that's been trapped inside!
Step 6
Be careful when taking a bite, as the broth inside is hot. Dip in the sauce and savor the wonderful flavors.
