To make Classic Chinese Dumplings, you will need the following ingredients:
For the filling:
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 cups finely chopped cabbage
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup water
To make the filling, mix together the ground pork, cabbage, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, and black pepper in a large bowl. Set aside.
To make the dough, mix together the flour and water in a separate bowl until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
To assemble the dumplings, roll out the dough into thin circles and place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges together to seal.
To cook the dumplings, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the dumplings to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface and the filling is cooked through.
Serve the Classic Chinese Dumplings hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
These Classic Chinese Dumplings are a perfect combination of savory and sweet flavors. The filling is juicy and flavorful, while the dough is soft and chewy. The appearance of the dumplings is also very appetizing, with the thin dough wrapping around the filling in a beautiful shape.
