Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix ground pork, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl until just combined.

  2. Step 2

    Spoon 1 tsp filling onto the center of each dumpling wrapper, then fold in half and pinch edges to seal.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Place dumplings flat-side down in the skillet in a single layer without crowding (work in batches if needed).

  5. Step 5

    Sear until the bottoms are golden and crispy, 3–4 minutes without moving. Serve immediately.

  6. Step 6

    Drizzle with chili oil and black vinegar, scatter scallion on top.
