Juicy Steamed Dumplings Recipe Ingredients: 4 1/2 (500 g) cups flour, sifted 1 lb (500 g) lean boneless pork, minced 4 tsp soy sauce 1/2 tsp rice wine 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, chopped 2 tsp salt, or to taste 1/2 tsp sugar 4 oz (125 ml) sesame oil 1/2 tsp MSG (optional) Directions: 1. Mix the pork with the soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, MSG, salt, and sugar. Stir in one direction until it becomes a paste. Stir in the sesame oil and mix well. 2. Add 9 oz (250 ml) of cold water gradually to the flour and mix into a dough. Let rest. Turn out onto a flour board and knead until firm and elastic. 3. Knead the dough again and cut into 1/2 oz (15 g) balls. Flatten each ball lightly with your hand, then roll out each piece into a 3 inch (7 to 8 cm) circle, rotating the dough counter-clockwise while rolling so the centre is slightly thicker than the edges. Place about 1 to 1 1/2 tbsp (20 g) of filling on each circle and pinch the edges together into 18 pleats. Place the dumpling in a steamer and steam for 5 minutes over high heat.   Read also: Chinese Cooking: Sauces & and Spices  Peking Duck Recipe  Cashew Chicken Recipe Chinese King Crab with Mushrooms and Snow Peas
