Trader Joe’s Dumpling Bake

Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground Pork (lean, preferably 80/20)
• 2 tablespoons Curry Powder (mild or medium, adjust to taste)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger (peeled and minced)
• 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce (low‑sodium preferred)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil (toasted sesame oil for flavor)
• 3 Green Onions (thinly sliced, divided (some for filling, some for garnish))
• 30 Dumpling Wrappers (store‑bought round wrappers, thawed if frozen)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (for pan‑frying)
• 1/4 cup Water (for steaming the dumplings)

Instructions

1. Make the Curry Pork Filling

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, curry powder, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and half of the sliced green onions. Mix thoroughly until the spices are evenly distributed.

   Time: PT10M

2. Prepare the Dumpling Wrappers

   Lay a clean, dry cutting board on the counter. Place one dumpling wrapper in the palm of your hand; keep the remaining wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.

   Time: PT2M

3. Fill and Seal the Dumplings

   Spoon about 1 teaspoon of filling onto the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edge with a little water, fold the wrapper in half, and press firmly to seal, pleating the edges if desired.

   Time: PT8M

4. Pan‑Fry and Steam the Dumplings

   Heat the skillet over medium‑high heat and add the vegetable oil, swirling to coat the bottom. Arrange the dumplings in a single layer, flat side down. Fry for 2‑3 minutes until the bottoms turn golden brown. Carefully add the water, cover immediately, and steam for 5‑6 minutes until the water has evaporated and the dumplings are cooked through.

   Time: PT10M

5. Serve

   Transfer the dumplings to a serving plate, garnish with the remaining sliced green onions, and serve with a side of soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
