Total time: 27 min
Yield: 2 servings
Cuisine: Sichuan Chinese
Ingredients: 200g ground pork; 1 tbsp soy sauce; 1 tbsp Sichuan pepper powder; 1 tbsp minced ginger; 1 tbsp chopped green onion; 10 dumpling wrappers; 1 tbsp vegetable oil; 1 tbsp rice vinegar; 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds; 1 tbsp soy sauce

Method

Before mixing ground pork, stir in soy sauce. 2: After folding dumplings, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top before steaming.
In a bowl, mix ground pork with soy sauce, Sichuan pepper powder, ginger, and green onion until well combined.
Place a small amount of the pork mixture into each dumpling wrapper, then fold and seal the edges to form a crescent shape.
Arrange the dumplings in a steamer lined with parchment paper. Steam over boiling water for 10-12 minutes until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.
In a small bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, rice vinegar, and a pinch of additional Sichuan pepper for the dipping sauce.
Serve the dumplings hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
