Description
Soak the mushrooms in a small bowl of water. Roll out the dough and cut it into dumpling wrappers. Prepare the ground pork. Chop the green onions, mushrooms, and chestnuts. In a large bowl, mix the green onions, water chestnuts, dried mushrooms, salt, sugar, pepper, soy sauce, and ground pork. This will be the filling for our dumplings. Place 1 teaspoon of filling onto each dough wrapper. Fold the wrappers into a half-moon shape and seal the edges to form dumplings. Fill a large pot with water up to 3/4 full and bring to a boil. Drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes (until they float to the surface). Transfer the dumplings into a bowl of cold water, then drain. Pour a small amount of oil into a frying pan and heat over medium heat. Pan-fry the dumplings until lightly golden on both sides. To prepare the sauce: mix 1 teaspoon of vinegar, 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar in a bowl. Voila! Now you can enjoy this delicious dish.
