Pork and Chive Dumplings are a delightful Chinese breakfast dish, featuring tender dumplings filled with savory pork and aromatic chives, perfect for a protein-packed start to your day. These dumplings are easy to make and are sure to impress with their flavor and texture.

Ingredients

• Ground pork - 200 grams
• Fresh chives - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Dumpling wrappers - 20 pieces
• Water - for boiling

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped chives, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Take a dumpling wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it in half to create a half-moon shape, and press the edges to seal tightly. Repeat until all filling is used.
3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for about 6-8 minutes or until the dumplings float to the surface and are cooked through.
4. Using a slotted spoon, remove the dumplings from the water and place them on a plate. Serve hot with additional soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
