Pork Steamed Dumplings

It's been a long time since we've had a new family favorite/top rated recipe but this one is getting that title.  They are absolutely fabulous!  I used regular soy sauce and 1/2 Tbsp ground ginger since I had these on hand.  I needed two packages of wonton wrappers eventhough I stuffed them quite full.  They did stick together after steaming but not too bad:)
I found this recipe on the Mom's Plan's blog here.




Pork Steamed Dumplings2 lbs. ground pork
1/3 c. cornstarch
2 tbsp. minced fresh ginger
1 tsp. minced garlic
3 tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. sesame oil
1/2 c. chopped green onions
60-90 won ton wrappers (depending on how full you stuff them)

-Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.

-Place about 1 tsp of the pork mixture in the center of each won ton wrapper and gather up the corners, pinching them together at the top. Pat the edges with water to make them stick.

To prepare and eat now:
Bring a pot of water to a boil and arrange dumplings in steamer basket over the boiling water. Cover and steam about 20 to 25 minutes or until the pork mixture is entirely cooked.

To freeze:Freeze for one hour on a cookie pan and then place in a Ziploc bag.

To prepare after freezing:Bring a pot of water to boil and arrange dumplings directly from the freezer in the steam basket over the boiling water. Cover and steam about 25 to 28 minutes or until the pork mixture is entirely cooked.
