Instructions
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pork sausage, finely chopped green onions, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and minced garlic, mixing well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
On a clean surface, lay out 8 wonton wrappers and lightly brush the edges of each with water to ensure they seal properly.
-
Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center of each wrapper.
-
Carefully gather the edges of the wrapper over the filling, ensuring that it is completely enclosed, and press the edges together to seal securely.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling until they are all assembled.
-
Prepare a large pot by placing a collapsible metal steamer rack inside, filling the pot with about ½ inch of water.
-
Lightly spray the steamer rack with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
-
Working in batches, arrange the dumplings on the steamer rack, making sure to leave about 1 inch of space between each.
-
Cover the pot with a lid and steam the dumplings for about 8 minutes, or until they are thoroughly cooked.
-
Keep an eye on the water level in the pot, adding more as necessary to maintain the steam.
-
Once cooked, transfer the dumplings to a serving platter and enjoy with Chinese hot mustard or your favorite dipping sauce.
These Oriental Pork Wrappers are perfect for a quick snack, an appetizer, or even a fun family cooking activity. Enjoy the burst of flavors and the joy of sharing this delightful dish!
