- Prepare the Dumpling Filling:
- Finely chop 1 pound of pork shoulder and place it in a mixing bowl.
- Chop 1 cup of celery into small pieces and add it to the bowl.
- Season the filling with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of minced ginger, and 2 cloves of minced garlic.
- Mix everything together until well combined.
- Wrap the Dumplings:
- Take a dumpling wrapper and place a spoonful of the pork and celery filling in the center.
- Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water.
- Fold the wrapper in half and press the edges together to seal the dumpling.
- Repeat this process until all the filling is used.
- Cook the Dumplings:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Add the dumplings to the boiling water and cook for about 4-5 minutes or until they float to the surface.
- Remove the cooked dumplings with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate.
- Serve the Dumplings:
- Arrange the cooked dumplings on a serving platter.
- Optional: Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
- Serve with a dipping sauce made from a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a touch of honey.
For additional flavor variations, you can also steam or pan-fry the dumplings instead of boiling them. Steaming will result in a softer texture, while pan-frying will create a crispy exterior.
