"Fill store-bought wonton wrappers with a flavorful pork mixture for authentic tasting dumplings at home."

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar

1 tablespoon finely chopped Chinese

chives

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1 teaspoon chile-garlic sauce (such as

Sriracha®)

1 pound ground pork

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 egg, beaten

2 tablespoons finely chopped Chinese

chives

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

50 dumpling wrappers

1 cup vegetable oil for frying

1 quart water, or more as needed

DIRECTIONS:

1.	Combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon chives, sesame seeds, and chile sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
2.	Mix pork, garlic, egg, 2 tablespoons chives, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Place a dumpling wrapper on a lightly floured work surface and spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the middle. Wet the edge with a little water and crimp together forming small pleats to seal the dumpling. Repeat with remaining dumpling wrappers and filling.
3.	Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place 8 to 10 dumplings in the pan and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Pour in 1 cup of water, cover and cook until the dumplings are tender and the pork is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Repeat for remaining dumplings. Serve with soy sauce mixture for dipping.
