Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pack Dumpling wrappers (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Ground meat (pork or chicken, can substitute with mushrooms)
- 1 cup Mixed vegetables (finely chopped carrots or cabbage)
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (may substitute with chives)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil (vegetable oil as a lighter alternative)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (ground ginger can be used)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced for best flavor)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch (to prevent sticking)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (for dipping)

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground meat or finely chopped vegetables with chopped green onions, minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well.
- Take a dumpling wrapper and place a spoonful of your prepared filling in the center. Moisten the edges with a little water, fold over, and firmly pinch to seal securely.
- Choose your cooking method: steam, boil, or pan-fry the dumplings. If steaming, cook for about 5-10 minutes until the wrappers become translucent.
- Plate the dumplings and sprinkle some chopped green onions on top for garnish. Serve with soy sauce mixed with rice vinegar or spicy chili oil.
