• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb of Chives (Chopped)

2 tbsp of Sesame Oil

1 ½ lb Ground Pork or Chicken

2 tbsp of Oyster Sauce

2 tbsp of Soy Sauce

1 tbsp of Ginger

1 tsp of Salt

1 tsp of Chicken Powder

1 tsp of White Pepper

50 Dumpling Wrappers

Dipping Sauce:

2 tbsp Black Vinegar

½ tbsp Homemade Chili Oil

1 tbsp Sesame Seeds

Vegetarian Alternative:

7 Eggs (scrambled)

2 tbsp Vegetarian Oyster Sauce

1 tsp of Mushroom Powder

Directions

In a bowl, add in chopped chives and pour in 2 tbsp of Sesame Oil and mix well.

Add in ground pork, oyster sauce, soy sauce, grated ginger, salt, chicken powder, and white pepper. PRO TIP: Taste 1 tsp of the filling by microwaving it for 30 seconds to see if you need any more additional seasoning.

Take one piece of wrapper and add in 1 tbsp of the filling in the middle. Add water to the edges. Fold the wrapper in half, and using the palm of your hand, squeeze the wrapping together on each side while pushing the filling down, forming a ball. Make sure that all the edges are tightly sealed.

Boil a pot of water. Once the water is boiling, add in the dumplings. Once the dumplings float, cook for another 2 minutes.

VEGETARIAN: In a bowl, whisk together all the eggs. Pan-fry the eggs with 1 tbsp of oil and scramble them apart (cottage cheese consistency). Follow the above instructions but replace pork with scrambled eggs.
