    1.5 pounds ground pork, 1.5 cups finely chopped garlic chives, 3 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoon minced ginger, 3 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoon granulated sugar, 1.5 tablespoon oyster sauce, 2 teaspoon sesame oil, ¾ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • Scoop about 1-2 teaspoons of filling into the center of a dumpling wrapper. Lightly wet half of the wrapper’s edge with water, fold over the filling, create plates along the edge, then seal tightly. Make sure the dumplings are sealed tightly so it does not open during cooking. Repeat with remaining wrappers.

  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the dumplings and gently stir to prevent sticking. Return to a low boil and cook for 3-4 minutes until the filling is fully cooked through.
  • In a small bowl, combine Chinese black vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and chili oil. Serve dumplings immediately with the dipping sauce.
    3 tablespoon Chinese black vinegar, 2 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon chili oil

Notes

Freezing Dumplings:
  • To freeze uncooked dumplings, arrange them in a single layer on a parchment paper lined tray without touching and freeze for at least 2 hours. Then, transfer to a freezer bag for storage. To cook from frozen, add directly to boiling water and cook for 4-6 minutes until cooked through.
