Ingredients

• 300 grams Ground pork
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 stalks Green onion (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 24 pieces Gluten-free dumpling wrappers
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onion, gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Lay out a gluten-free dumpling wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Place about one teaspoon of the pork mixture in the center of the wrapper.

Step 3

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper in half, encasing the filling, and press the edges firmly to seal, creating a half-moon shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Carefully arrange the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer, making sure they do not touch.

Step 6

Fry the dumplings for about 2 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 7

Pour in 1/2 cup of water into the skillet and immediately cover with a tight-fitting lid. This will steam the dumplings.

Step 8

Reduce heat to medium and let the dumplings cook for another 5-6 minutes or until the pork is cooked through and the wrappers become translucent.

Step 9

Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow any remaining water to evaporate and to crisp up the bottoms again.

Step 10

Transfer the dumplings to a serving plate and serve hot with your favorite gluten-free dipping sauce.
