Emeril's Pork Dumplings With Spicy Sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine the pork, garlic, and green onions. Purée until smooth.

2. 2

   Season with a drizzle of sesame oil and soy sauce. Add the cream and process until incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Using a round biscuit cutter, cut the wonton wrappers into 2½-inch circles. Place 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each circle.

4. 4

   Moisten the edges with water. Pleat half the circle and press the edges together to form a crescent. Then pleat around the dumpling and press to form a beggar's purse shape.

   Line a large steamer basket with cabbage leaves. Place the steamer in a wok with enough water to touch the bottom of the basket. Cover and steam the cabbage for 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Arrange the dumplings on the cabbage leaves. Cover and steam until cooked through and translucent, about 6 to 8 minutes.

7. 7

   Serve warm with soy sauce and chili oil for dipping.
