Korean Pulled Pork and Chive Dumplings

METHOD

1. Start by removing the pulled pork from the packet and place into a microwave bowl, cover with a paper towel and heat for 2 mins. Drain any excess water away and using a fork break up the pork. Fold through the sauce from the packet and the chopped chives
2. To make the dumplings you will need a tray lined with baking paper to place them on as you make them, a small bowl of cold water, a chopping board, the wrappers and a tablespoon to scoop out the mix
3. The best way to understand how to make a dumpling is to look it up as a video tutorial - especially if you have kids helping you and you want to experiment with different shapes. The most basic way is to place the wrapper onto the chopping board, place a tablespoon of filling into the centre, using your finger dip it in a water [not too much] and moisten the edges of the wrapper, then fold the wrapper in half to create a half circle, pressing the edges together to seal the filling - make sure you get any air out of the centre as you seal it. Repeat the remaining wrappers and place on the tray as you go
4. Simmer the dumplings in a large pot - you don't want a rapid boil as this may break up the dumplings just a medium boil. Simmer for a few minutes till tender then remove with a slotted spoon into serving bowls
5. Serve immediately with soy sauce, chilli oil and a sprinkle of fresh chives
