Cooking StepsHow to cook Locust Flower and Pork Dumplings step by step

Step 1 Detail

Pick through the locust flowers, removing twigs and impurities. Rinse in cold water, then blanch in boiling water for 20 seconds. Immediately transfer to cold water to cool, squeeze out excess moisture thoroughly, and chop finely.
Step 2 Detail

Add minced ginger, a pinch of thirteen-spice powder, light soy sauce, and salt to the ground pork. Stir vigorously in one direction until the mixture becomes sticky and cohesive.
Step 3 Detail

Drizzle in a little heated oil and mix to seal in moisture. Fold in the chopped locust flowers and mix gently until evenly combined.
Step 4 Detail

Wrap the dumplings. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the dumplings, and add cold water three times as they cook. When the dumplings float and puff up, they are ready to serve.
