Pork and Chive Dumplings

Prep 30M | Cook 10M | Enjoy in 45M

Meat and chive dumplings have been a tradition in Chinese cuisine for centuries. While some of us view cooking as work, many Chinese families view meal prep time as quality family time – that’s something we can get behind! This recipe uses store-bought wonton wrappers, but you can try making the dough on your own as well! This recipe is part of our August meal plan.

Ingredients:

1 tsp canola oil

¼ cup carrot, shredded

¼ cup green cabbage, finely chopped

¼ cup chives, finely sliced

1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

½ lb lean ground pork

2 tbsp hoisin sauce

2 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp cilantro, fresh, chopped

24 wonton wrappers

Directions:

  1. Prep all vegetables. Heat oil over medium heat in a medium frying pan. Add carrots, cabbage, chives, ginger and garlic. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are tender, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer mixture to a large bowl. Allow to cool fully.
  2. Add ground pork, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce and cilantro to vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine.
  3. Place 1 tbsp pork mixture in the centre of a wonton wrapper. Brush outer border lightly with water. Pull opposite corners together and pinch to seal. Repeat with two remaining corners. Twist to seal.
  4. Cook in boiling water until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer dumplings to a paper towel lined plate.
  5. Optional: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over medium-high and cook dumplings until browned
    on all sides.
  6. Serve and enjoy!
