Chinese New Year, or the Lunar New Year, is a time to gather with your family, honor
ancestors, and share a feast with food that symbolizes prosperity in the coming year. Serving
pork symbolizes strength, wealth, and blessings-- and it’s important during the biggest
holiday of the year to enjoy a feast full of hope and positive vibes. For your celebration, share
flower-fed pork raised on small Nordic farms. For a simple, yet delicious meal, try our Lucky
Pork Dumpling recipe below-- this chinese pork recipe can even be made into soup if desired.
Get out your broom and sweep away the past: The Year of the Dog begins 16, February 2018.
Lucky Pork Dumplings
Ingredients:
1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper
1 clove minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 cup chopped green onions
Vegetables of your choice (Chinese cabbage, bean sprouts)
1-2 packages of dumpling wrappers
Directions:
1. Add all dumpling ingredients into a large bowl except for the wonton wrappers. Mix
thoroughly.
2. Set out wonton wrappers, prepare a small bowl of cool water for sealing edges. Start
heating a pot of salted water. Work on step 3 while salted water comes to a boil.
3. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons filling in wonton wrapper. With fingertips, lightly wet edges
with water. Firmly pinch edges. Repeat until all filling has been used.
4. Place dumplings in salted boiling water, and cook gently for about 10 minutes. Drain, then
run cool water over your cooked dumplings to avoid sticking.
If you’d rather make soup, heat chicken broth instead of salted water. Add the pork
dumplings to boiling chicken broth and cook until done. Serve dumplings in broth garnished
with chopped parsley or vegetables as desired.
