These Kimchi Dumplings are a delightful blend of spicy kimchi and savory pork encased in a crispy wrapper. Perfect for a quick snack or appetizer.
Ingredients: 1 cup finely chopped kimchi. 1/2 cup ground pork. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon ginger, minced. 2 green onions, finely chopped. 1 tablespoon soy sauce. 1 teaspoon sesame oil. 1/2 teaspoon sugar. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. 1 package dumpling wrappers. Water for sealing dumplings. Vegetable oil for pan-frying.
Instructions: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped kimchi, ground pork, minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and black pepper. Mix well to create the dumpling filling. Take a dumpling wrapper and place a spoonful of the kimchi-pork filling in the center. Dip your finger in water and wet the edges of the wrapper to help seal it. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, and then pleat and crimp the edges to seal the dumpling. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil. Place the dumplings in the skillet, making sure they don't touch each other. Cook the dumplings for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms become golden brown. Pour about 1/4 cup of water into the skillet and immediately cover it with a lid. Steam the dumplings for 5-7 minutes until the wrappers become translucent and the filling is cooked through. Remove the lid and let the dumplings continue cooking until any remaining water evaporates, and the bottoms crisp up again. Serve the kimchi dumplings hot with your choice of dipping sauce. Enjoy your delicious homemade kimchi dumplings!
