We worked with the culinary team at Momofuku to craft the perfect make-at-home dumpling kit - our Spicy Pork Dumplings with Momofuku Chili Crunch vinegar dipping sauce. Ground pork is generously seasoned with Momofuku Spicy Seasoning and packed with punchy aromatics like sliced scallions before being pan-seared and steamed to perfection. This is sure to become a staple in your elevated appetizer game!
Contains: coconut (tree nut), wheat, soy, sesame.
Note: The pork may arrive frozen for freshness. Store it in the refrigerator to defrost before cooking. If you need to defrost it the same day, place the sealed package in a bowl of cold water, and leave the tap running in a thin stream for about 30 minutes.
What You Get
Ground pork (see note)
Momofuku Spicy Seasoning
Scallions
Dumpling wrappers
Momofuku Chili Crunch Vinegar
What You'll Need
Soy sauce or tamari
Agave syrup or honey
Vegetable or neutral oil
Step 1
Thinly slice the scallions.
Step 2
Remove the pork from the packaging and add to a bowl with 2 teaspoons of Momofuku Spicy Seasoning, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce or tamari, and 1 teaspoon of honey or agave. Stir to combine. Add half of the scallions to the pork dumpling mixture and the remaining half to the Momofuku Chili Crunch Vinegar for the dipping sauce.
Step 3
To make the dumplings, place a wrapper on a work surface. Place a spoonful of the pork in the center. Dip your finger into water and wet the outer edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half and pinch to seal. You can either fold it over simply to make a half moon, or crimp the edges, stand it upright, and curve it into a crescent, if you’re a dumpling pro. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 4
In a nonstick frying pan over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the dumplings and cook undisturbed until browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Add ½ cup water, cover the pan, and steam until the water is nearly gone and the wrappers are soft and the filling is firm, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Transfer the dumplings to plates and serve with the Momofuku Chili Crunch Vinegar dipping sauce.
