Ingredients
Scale
- 9 oz ground pork
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 cup napa cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 24 round dumpling wrappers (gyoza or wonton wrappers)
- Water for sealing
- Cooking spray or vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons chili oil, store-bought or homemade
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon black vinegar or rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped spring onion, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, spring onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, sugar, white pepper, napa cabbage, and cornstarch. Mix until well combined and slightly sticky.
- Assemble the dumplings: Place a dumpling wrapper in your palm. Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of filling into the center. Dip your finger in water and moisten the edge of the wrapper. Fold in half and pinch edges to seal, pleating if desired.
- Complete dumpling preparation: Repeat the assembly process with remaining wrappers and filling. Cover completed dumplings with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes.
- Prepare dumplings for cooking: Lightly spray or brush dumplings with oil. Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry the dumplings: Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Prepare chili oil dipping sauce: While dumplings cook, mix chili oil, soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame seeds, and spring onion in a small bowl.
- Serve: Transfer hot dumplings to a serving plate and serve with chili oil on the side.
Notes
- Ensure the edges of the dumpling wrappers are sealed well to prevent leaking during cooking.
- Adjust the spiciness of the chili oil according to preference.
- Use fresh ingredients for best flavor.
