Pork Dumplings
400 g ground pork
1 onion, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, pressed
1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger root
1 tsp honey (or brown sugar)
2 Tbsp dark soy sauce
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
smooth dough made with 375 g flour + 160 ml water (more or less, just make a smooth and not too sticky dough) or wonton wrappers
In a large bowl, combine all the filling ingredients and stir until well mixed. Place filling onto each wonton skin and fold it into desired shape.
Line bottom of a bamboo steamer with baking paper paper (or a Chinese cabbage leaf). Place dumplings on it and put steamer into a wok or a pot. The wok should be filled with water just below the bottom of the steamer.
Steam covered for about 6-10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Looks beautiful!
I want a plate of these RIGHT. NOW. Yummmm! (and it’s only morning here)
Oooh you even made your own wonton wrappers, nice!
I’m pretty confident that I could eat 58 of those.
I’m really impressed! You made your own wonton wrappers? A friend from Singapore taught me how to make these. We used to have a real manufacture going on in our college kitchen! 4 or 5 people just rolling and chatting and laughing. She said there was a popular belief in China that you have to seal the wontons properly, so the filling does not fall out, to ensure your prosperity in life….
Your dumplings sound so delicious! And I love your photographs, great! :-)
