Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 2 small cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 package wonton wrappers

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • chili paste or sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon rice or white vinegar, to taste

Instructions

  • Combine the pork with the cilantro, ginger, onion, garlic, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 2 teaspoons of sesame oil; mix well.
  • Put about 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons of the pork mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten all edges of the wrapper with water. Fold over to make a triangle and press edges to seal. Place on parchment paper and repeat with the remaining pork mixture and wonton wrappers.
  • At this point, you can freeze the dumplings or cook them.
  • To freeze, place them on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze. Once frozen, put them (gently, the corners break easily on the frozen triangle shapes) in a food storage bag or sealable container.
  • To cook, line a steamer insert or bamboo steamer with parchment paper. Put over boiling water, cover, and cook for about 12 to 15 minutes. If frozen, cook for about 20 minutes.
  • To make the sauce, mix 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, chili paste, or sriracha to taste, and a teaspoon of vinegar. Serve in little dishes with the hot steamed dumplings.
