1 teaspoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger

2 teaspoons mirin (sweet rice wine)

4 ounces ground pork

24 gyoza skins

1 1/2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)

1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted

1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil

Directions:

1. To prepare dumplings, combine first 10 ingredients. Working with 1 gyoza skin at a time (cover remaining skins to prevent drying), spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons pork mixture into center of each skin. Moisten edges of skin with water. Fold in half, pinching edges together to seal. Place dumplings, seam sides up, on a baking sheet sprinkled with 1 teaspoon cornstarch (cover loosely with a towel to prevent drying).

3. To prepare sauce, combine 1 tablespoon onions and remaining ingredients. Serve sauce with dumplings.
