Pan Fried Pork Dumplings 高麗菜豬肉鍋貼

Since I was a child, I have been watching my aunt and uncle make homemade dumplings. There is nothing like eating fresh dumplings made from scratch and there are so many different fillings you can try. For this recipe, I have prepared my personal favorite, the one I remember best. Making the dumpling skin can be intimidating at first, but taste is well worth the work.
Don't give up!

Ready to serve with red chili, scallions and soy sauce.

Dipping Sauce Recommendation:

Combine soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil and chopped scallions.

Note: I don't use soy sauce in my recipe because most dumpling sauces are already salty. Adjust the recipe to your liking.
