Recipe 🍳

  1. Finely chop chives and white part of green onion.
  2. Chop squid and shrimp finely to retain a satisfying bite.
  3. Add ginger juice to ground pork, gradually adding water in small portions while continuously stirring in one direction to lock in juices and prevent dryness.
  4. Season the kneaded pork with soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper, and cooking wine.
  5. Pre-season chopped squid and shrimp separately with oyster sauce, white pepper, cheongju, and ginger juice, then mix with the pork mixture.
  6. Fold in the chopped chives and green onion gently, then add generous sesame oil to complete the filling.
  7. Gradually add hot water to all-purpose flour while kneading until smooth and soft dough is formed.
  8. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into thin, round wrappers using a rolling pin.
  9. Place filling onto the wrapper, pleat and seal tightly to form the dumpling shape.
  10. Steam the dumplings in a steamer over boiling water for about 6 minutes to achieve tender, juicy steamed dumplings.
  11. For pan-fried dumplings, heat sufficient oil in a pan and cook dumplings on both sides until crispy.
  1. Finely chop chives, green onion, squid, and shrimp.
  2. Gradually add water to ground pork while kneading to create a juicy base.
  3. Mix seasoned pork with seafood and vegetables, finish with sesame oil to make the filling.
  4. Knead flour with hot water to form soft dough, then roll out thinly for wrappers.
  5. Fill the wrappers with filling and shape neatly by hand.
  6. Steam for 6 minutes or pan-fry in oil until golden and crispy.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When making the meat mixture, add water in several stages while stirring in one direction to ensure the dumplings are packed with moist, juicy filling.
  • The dumpling wrapper should feel soft and pliable when touched—neither too sticky nor too dry.
  • To make quick dipping sauce, mix soy sauce with vinegar and chili powder, optionally adding a touch of minced garlic or green onion for extra flavor.
