Ingredients
- 200 g pork mince
- 10 g finely chopped spring onion whites
- 30 g finely diced shiitake mushrooms
- 1/2 tsp grated ginger
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp cooking wine
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp seasoning powder or MSG optional
- 40 ml chicken or beef stock vegetable stock or water also works.
- A few dumpling wrappers defrost if frozen
FOR SERVING
- Spring onion greens
- Julienned ginger
- Black vinegar or balsamic vinegar
- Chilli oil
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Soak dried shiitake mushrooms in water until softened. Drain well and finely dice. Finely chop the spring onion whites.
- Make the filling: In a mixing bowl,combine pork mince, diced shiitake mushrooms, spring onion whites, grated ginger, salt, soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, sesame oil, and optional seasoning powder. Mix well until fully combined.
- Assemble: Spoon the filling into a small heatproof cup, bowl, or shallow dish. Cover the top with a dumpling wrapper (or a few wrappers if using a larger dish) and lightly fold the edges.
- Steam: Pour enough stock over the filling to cover the surface. If you want extra “soup” inside, add an additional splash of stock at this point. Steam for about 10 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped spring onion greens and julienned ginger. Drizzle with black vinegar or chilli oil (or both — to your liking).
