Ingredients

• 250 g minced pork
• 250 g spinach
• 200 g minced carrot
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons rice wine
• 12 round dumpling wrappers

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the minced pork, spinach, carrots, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and rice wine. Mix together until all the ingredients are well combined.
2. Place one wrapper on your left palm and start by using your right index finger to add 1 teaspoon of the filling in the middle of it.
3. Use your right thumb and index finger to fold it in half to create a crescent moon shape.
4. Gently press the edges together to seal them tightly.

5. Pick up the dumpling and repeat the same steps from step 2 to 4 until all of the filling is finished.

6. Heat up cooking oil in a large pan. When the oil is hot, place all the dumplings in it with the pleats side up. Cook for 4 minutes in medium heat.
7. Once the bottom dumplings are lightly browned, add 1/4 cup of water to the pan.
8. Cover the pan with a lid and steam the dumplings for 5 minutes in low heat.
9. When the water is evaporated, uncover the pan and cook for another minute until the dumplings are all golden brown.
