Smash Dumpling Tacos

Cooked smash-burger style, these Smash Dumpling Tacos are an easy way to enjoy homemade dumplings without the painstaking chore of wrapping them.

Ingredients:

28 dumpling wrappers 

1 lb ground pork

2 tbsps minced garlic

2 tsps minced ginger

1/4 cup chopped green onion

4 tsps rice vinegar

1/4 cup soy sauce

pepper to taste

vegetable oil for cooking

sesame seeds and green onion slices to garnish

Sauce:

1/4 cup soy sauce

4 tsps rice vinegar

1 tsp chili crisp oil 

Combine the sauce ingredients and set aside. Mix the ground pork, garlic, ginger, chopped green onion, rice vinegar, soy and pepper together. This can be done early in the day and refrigerated for the flavours to meld. Lay the dumpling wrappers out on a counter. Take 1 tbsp of meat mixture, form a ball then press or smash onto the wrapper. Prepare all the dumplings stacking them between sheets of wax paper. Heat oil in a frying pan or griddle to medium. Place the dumplings pork side down on the pan and fry 1-2 minutes. Flip them over then fold over like a taco and cook another 1-2 minutes until crisped.

Serve with dipping sauce on the side and topped with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Makes 28 or enough for about 4 servings.
