Pork Dumplings with Peanut Sauce

Step 1

In a saucepan, bring all the ingredients to a boil, stirring with a whisk. Simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the pork, mushrooms, green onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

On a work surface, lay six wrappers at a time. With a spoon, scoop about 10 ml (2 teaspoons) of stuffing in the centre of each square. Brush the wrappers with a little water and close them in a triangle or half-moon shape. Press the dough around the filling to avoid air bubbles. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Step 4

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook only a few dumplings at a time in simmering water until al dente or 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and set aside on an oiled baking sheet.

Step 5

In a large non-stick skillet, combine both oils to brown the dumplings on each side. Serve with peanut sauce.

Step 6

If desired, freeze at this stage. Before serving, thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven.
