How to Make Pork Dumplings

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 250°.

  2. Step 2

    In a wok, cook cabbage, leek, black pepper, garlic powder, crushed red pepper and 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil over medium high heat until cabbage is wilted. Transfer mixture to a food processor and add cilantro, pork loin and 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce. Pulse until all ingredients are mixed together completely (coarsely pureed).

  3. Step 3

    Spoon mixture into wonton wrappers. Wet fingertips and pinch wontons into pockets. In a steamer, steam the dumplings for about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, lightly coat a skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add a small amount of water and cook dumplings for 1 minute on each side or, until dumplings becomes transparent.)

  4. Step 4

    Lightly coat a baking pan with the remaining 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until desired crispness.

  5. Step 5

    In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, the honey and scallions. Serve dumplings with dipping sauce. Serve the dumplings with the soy sauce mixture.
