Ingredients
Scale
- Dumpling Wrappers: 20 round wrappers
- Filling:
- 1 cup ground pork
- 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Peanut Sauce:
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chili paste (optional)
- 1/4 cup warm water (to thin)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine all filling ingredients and mix well until fully incorporated.
- Place a dumpling wrapper in your palm, add 1 tablespoon of filling in the center, and fold the wrapper in half, sealing the edges with a little water.
- Arrange the dumplings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not touching.
- Brush the tops lightly with oil for extra crispiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- While the dumplings are baking, prepare the peanut sauce by whisking together all sauce ingredients in a bowl until smooth.
- Serve the dumplings hot with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Make-ahead: Dumplings can be assembled and frozen before baking. Bake from frozen, adding an extra 5-10 minutes to the cooking time.
- Storage: Store leftover dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Substitutions: Ground chicken or tofu can be used in place of ground pork for a different flavor profile.
