Ingredients

• 1 cup canned tuna, drained
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 package dumpling wrappers
• 1 beaten egg
• Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine the canned tuna, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
2. Place a spoonful of the tuna mixture in the center of a dumpling wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half and pinch the edges to seal the dumpling. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the dumplings in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
4. Pour water into the pan, just enough to cover the bottom. Immediately cover the pan with a lid to steam the dumplings.
5. Reduce the heat to low and steam the dumplings for 8-10 minutes until cooked through.
6. Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for another 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottom.
7. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the dumplings to a serving plate.
8. Serve the tuna dumplings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
