Grilled Cilantro Pork Dumplings

SAUCE USED : Sesame Ginger

To freeze unused dumplings – skip the searing and steam/boil dumplings for 2 minutes to cook pork. Place in freezer to freeze – ensure dumplings are not touching to avold freezing into one large dumpling. Once frozen, they can be stored in the same container. (You CAN also freeze them uncooked and sear/steam longer when using). —–
For wrappers from scratch, simply knead 2 cups flour and 2/3 cup warm water for 3-4 minutes to form a dough ball. Rest for 1/2 hour and roll out into thin sheet. Use circle cut out to make the dumpling size you prefer. Flour each wrapper before stacking to keep separate.
