Description
These Asian Pork Dumplings are a no fold, also known as the blanket method, that requires no assembly! The recipe cooks all in one skillet for an easy weeknight dinner ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, skin removed
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- 14-16 Wonton Wrappers (12 ounce package *you'll have lots leftover)
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons Bachan's Japanese Sauce "Spicy Sesame" or Teriyaki Sauce or Chili Oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon sliced green onion or chives
Instructions
- (1) Into a large bowl, add in ground pork, salt, pepper, egg, grated ginger and garlic. Stir or use your hands to combine ingredients. (2) Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scooper or your hands to roll each filling ball (it should make about 14-16) Note: I like to pack these a bit like a meatball, so they hold together well in the pan. (3) In a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat, add in the olive oil, then each meatball. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until browned, then flip, cover and cook until the internal temperature reaches about 155 degrees (about 4-6 minutes).
- Reduce the heat to medium low and allow to cool a bit. Add a wonton wrapper over the top of each filling ball. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes. Increase the stovetop heat to medium. Pour in water and cover for 4-5 minutes until the dumpling wrappers are steamed and softened (almost like a noodle texture). Check that the pork filling is at least 165 degrees internally. If it's not, cover and cook for a few more minutes.
- Top the skillet with sauce, green onions, and sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Try to roll the meatballs in similar size, so they cook in about the same time.
- Before adding the wonton wrapper, reduce the stovetop heat, so it doesn't splatter at your hands.
- When placing the dumpling wrapper, try to really place it around the filling so that it stays well.
- Serve these pork dumplings with rice or a Spicy Cucumber Salad.
- I recommend a non-stick skillet with lid.
