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