Homemade Pork Dumplings



You probably have eaten a lot of dumplings in your favorite restaurant or fast food. If you run out of dumplings to eat, you can always make them at the comfort of your home. The process of making dumplings is tedious because it involves chopping some of the ingredients for filling and placing a teaspoon of ground meat mixture in each dumpling wrapper. Then the final stage is to steam them in batches until they are done cooked.

Here's a closer look of a dumpling I've made:


And here's how it looks inside:




They can be served as appetizers or just a simple viand for rice or salad.

Ingredients:
1/2 kg ground pork
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 small turnip, chopped
2 fresh egg, medium and beaten (separately)
4 spring onions, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
50 pieces medium dumpling wrappers
