Asian Dumplings

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 1/2 cup chopped green onion
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 package round wonton wrappers

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the ground pork, green onion, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper until combined.
2. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center of each wrapper.
3. Wet the edges of the wonton wrappers with a little water and fold the wrappers in half to form a triangle. Pinch the edges together to seal in the pork mixture.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom. Place the dumplings in the skillet and cook for 3 minutes. Flip the dumplings and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
5. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
