A Few Key Ingredients For Steamed Pork Dumplings

• Ground Pork – You can also use ground chicken.
• Sesame Oil – A flavorful addition. 
• Wonton Wrappers – You can buy these from the frozen section or take a stab at making yourself with this recipe! 

We recommend using a bamboo steamer to cook your dumplings. You can typically find these in your local grocery store and it’s always a great tool to have on hand for steaming dumplings and vegetables. If you don’t have a bamboo steamer, never fear, you can also prepare these delicious dumplings by using a wire steamer or by propping a plate over a sauté pan filled with water.
