Instructions
- To make the mix for the dumpling:
- In a medium mixing bowl, add ground pork, cabbage, carrots, ramps, green onion, and cilantro and mix thoroughly.
- Add sesame oil and chopped garlic and mix.
- The key to stuffing the wontons is to not overstuff them. They can split and not cook so a tsp of mix is plenty.
- As diagrammed in photo, place a tsp of mix in center and with finger dipped in water coat edge of wonton and fold over and seal. Then fold the two points of wonton together.
- Continue until all dumplings are stuffed.
- To cook them:
- Using a large non stick sauté pan add 2 tbsp vegetable oil and heat over medium heat.
- Once hot place half of the dumplings in the oil and allow to cook for 2 minutes.
- Turn over and cook an additional minute.
- Add 1/4 warm tap water to pan and cover immediatelly and allow to "steam for 4-5 minutes.
- This will assure the filling is cooked completely.
- Remove from pan and repeat with remaining dumplings.
- To make the dipping sauce:
- Combine vinegar, soy sauce, green onions, sugar, garlic powder and sesame seeds until sugar is dissolved.
- Dip dumplings in sauce and enjoy.
