In Seattle's International District, Liana Cafe House sells traditional Chinese pork dumplings from a tiny takeout shop. See how to make them 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.
