Spicy Steamed Dumplings Recipe

Spicy steamed dumplings are a delightful treat! Here’s a recipe you can try:

1 pound ground pork
1 cup finely chopped napa cabbage
3 green onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely grated ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon chili oil (adjust to taste for desired spiciness)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Dumpling wrappers (you can find these in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores or make your own)

In a large bowl, mix together ground pork, chopped napa cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, chili oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
To assemble the dumplings, place a small spoonful of the pork mixture in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold the wrapper in half and press the edges together to seal. You can also crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Arrange the dumplings on a steamer basket lined with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Make sure to leave some space between each dumpling to prevent them from sticking together while steaming.
Fill a pot or wok with about an inch of water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Place the steamer basket with the dumplings on top, making sure it fits snugly. Cover and steam the dumplings for about 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.
While the dumplings are steaming, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chopped green onion, and chili flakes in a small bowl.
Once the dumplings are cooked, carefully remove them from the steamer basket and serve hot with the dipping sauce on the side.

Enjoy your spicy steamed dumplings! They make a great appetizer or main dish for any occasion.
