Ingredients
- 500 g Ground Pork (prefer 80% lean for juiciness)
- 2 cloves Garlic (grated)
- 1 tsp Ginger (fresh, grated)
- 2 stalks Green Onions (white and green parts, finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp Light Soy Sauce (Chinese light soy sauce)
- 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce (adds umami depth)
- 1 tsp Cornstarch (helps bind the filling)
- 2 tbsp Water (for a smoother filling texture)
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp White Pepper (use sparingly; the video notes it can be too much)
- 12 pieces Gyoza Wrappers (store‑bought) (keep a damp kitchen towel over them to prevent drying)
- 1 tbsp Chili Oil (for drizzling after steaming)
Instructions
Prepare the Pork Filling
In a mixing bowl combine ground pork, grated garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, water, salt, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes a uniform, slightly sticky paste.
Time: PT5M
Moisten the Wrappers
Lay a clean kitchen towel over the work surface. Lightly spray or brush each gyoza wrapper with water on both sides to keep them pliable.
Time: PT2M
Layer the Dumplings
Place one wet wrapper in the bottom of a shallow, heat‑proof plate. Spoon 1‑2 tbsp of the pork filling onto the wrapper, spreading it thinly. Cover with another wet wrapper, add another spoonful of filling, and repeat until you have three layers, finishing with a wrapper on top.
Time: PT5M
Steam the Dumplings
Arrange the assembled plates in a steamer basket, making sure they do not touch. Cover and steam over boiling water for about 20 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked (internal temperature 71°C).
Time: PT20M
Temperature: 100°C
Finish and Serve
Remove the plates from the steamer. Drizzle each dumpling stack with a thin line of chili oil for a gentle heat. Serve immediately while hot.
Time: PT3M
