Servings: Original recipe yields 5 servings

INGREDIENTS

For the sauce:

½ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped Chinese chives
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)

1 pound ground pork
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons finely chopped Chinese chives
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 ½ tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
50 dumpling wrappers
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
1 quart water, or more as needed

STEPS

1) Combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon chives, sesame seeds, and chile sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.

2) Mix pork, garlic, egg, 2 tablespoons chives, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Place a dumpling wrapper on a lightly floured work surface and spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the middle. Wet the edge with a little water and crimp together forming small pleats to seal the dumpling. Repeat with remaining dumpling wrappers and filling.

3) Boil the dumplings in salted water, in batches for 5 minutes per batch. (Step added per Melissa's Won Ton Wrapper instructions)

4) Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry dumplings in batches until browned, about 2 minutes per side.

5) Serve with soy sauce mixture for dipping.
