Pork Soup Dumplings Recipe

I am going to be honest with you. This recipe is EXCELLENT! But it does take a little time. My plan was to make these as an appetizer but they were so good we had them as our meal. LOL! True Story!

Ingredients:

Ginger Scallion Broth

  • 3/4 cup chicken stock
  • 4 scallions chopped
  • 1 inch fresh ginger peeled and sliced

Soup

  • 1 3/4 cup chicken stock (if you have a homemade gelatinous chicken broth skip the next ingredient)
  • 1 1/4 ounce envelope of gelatin powder

Filling

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 Tablespoon soy sauce (I use low sodium soy sauce)
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 Tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 Tablespoon rice vinegar
  • dumpling wrappers
  • dumpling sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

Prepare Ginger Scallion Broth

Place chicken broth, scallions and ginger in a shaker bottle or a jar with a lid and allow to rest for about 10 minutes shaking often. Strain liquid and discard scallions and ginger and set ginger scallion broth aside.

Prepare Soup

Place chicken broth in a small saucepan and warm over medium heat. Add package of gelatin and whisk until dissolved. Pour broth into a shallow dish and place in refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the broth has set up.

Prepare Pork Soup Dumplings Filling

Place ground pork in a medium bowl. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar and half of the ginger scallion broth and mix until combined. Then add remaining ginger scallion broth and mix to combine. Dice up the chilled gelatinous chicken stock and add to the pork mixture and stir to combine and set aside.

Prepare Pork Soup Dumplings

This recipe uses these premade dumpling wrappers. I purchased my wrappers at an Asian market and I have even seen dumpling wrappers in the produce section at the grocery store. Will I every make my own wrappers? Probably not any time soon.

  • Lay dumpling out on flat surface and run a rolling pin over the wrapper a few times. It just helps to make the dumpling wrapper a tad bit bigger.
  • Drop a teaspoon size of the meat mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
  • Lift the left side of the wrapper. Grab and pinch a piece of the dough between your thumb and index finger.
  • Then make another fold and lift up the wrapper and shimmy the filling to the left side .
  • Continue folding dough over about a total of 10 times.
  • Then pinch all the folds together in the center and gently shape the dough and set aside on parchment paper.

Note: This recipe will make quite a few dumplings. You can make them all in one setting if you prefer but I like to make some then steam some and freeze the others. If there’s still meat left over I will freeze that for another day of dumpling making.

Steam Dumplings

To steam the dumplings you can use a bamboo steamer or a steamer basket. Fill a medium sized pot with about 1 cup of water. Put the steamer in the pot. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the steamer then place dumplings in steamer making sure they are not touching. Bring pot to boil then place cover over dumplings and steam in batches until cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. After steaming remove lid and allow dumplings to slightly cool before removing from steamer. Serve warm with dumpling sauce and enjoy!
