Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons grated ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 30 round dumpling wrappers
• Water for steaming

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, beaten eggs, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
2. Lay a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface and spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it in half to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal the dumpling. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Place a steamer basket in a large pot and fill it with water, just below the level of the basket. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
4. Arrange the dumplings in the steamer basket, leaving some space between each dumpling to prevent sticking. Cover the pot with a lid and steam the dumplings for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.
5. Carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve hot. They can be enjoyed on their own or dipped in soy sauce or a chili oil-based sauce for extra flavor.
