Too-Lean Dumplings


Lean meat is healthier, so they say, but it is not always good. I like my dumpling filling simple, just a little ginger, sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil to season. My favourite vegetable though is Chinese chive. Here I bought some very lean ground pork and the result is quite a dry dumpling.







Using store bought wrappers, the result looked fairly good.












Looked good boiled too but when I bit into it, it was rather woody. Next time I will either buy fattier meat, or add cornstarch and/or (more) water.
