Cooking StepsHow to cook Pork and Celery Dumplings step by step

  1. Pork and Celery Dumplings
    Step 1

    Wash the celery and Napa cabbage, then drain thoroughly.

  2. Pork and Celery Dumplings
    Step 2

    Mince the vegetables, add salt, and squeeze out excess moisture — but not too dry, or you’ll lose that fresh vegetable aroma.

  3. Pork and Celery Dumplings
    Step 3

    Add oyster sauce, light soy sauce, ginger powder, and minced scallions to the ground pork. Mix in the minced celery and cabbage, add sesame oil, and stir well. Season with five-spice powder, salt, and cooking oil, then stir to combine evenly.

  4. Pork and Celery Dumplings
    Step 4

    Make the dumpling wrappers using high-gluten flour for the best texture. Roll out the wrappers and fill them.

  5. Pork and Celery Dumplings
    Step 5

    Shape the dumplings and line them up on a floured surface.

  6. Pork and Celery Dumplings
    Step 6

    Bring a pot of water to a boil, drop in the dumplings. When the water returns to a boil, start timing — 3 minutes is the perfect doneness for my taste.

  7. Pork and Celery Dumplings
    Step 7

    Serve with vinegar for dipping — and don’t forget the garlic!
