Cook time: 30 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 30 pieces wonton/gyoza wrappers
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 500 grams lean pork mince
• 2 pieces spring onion stalks
• 20 grams Chow mein Seasoning
• 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce
• 0.25 cup noodle water
• 1 piece cucumber
• 1 bunch coriander
• 1 tablespoon chilli oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Separate the dumpling wrappers so they are no longer stuck together. Cut them in half and gently pull them to create longer ‘noodles’.
2. Keep the separated wrappers covered with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out while the rest of the dish is prepared.
3. Place a large frying pan, deep skillet, or wok over medium to medium-high heat.
4. Add the sesame oil and allow it to heat briefly.
5. Add the ground pork and start to brown. After 2-3 minutes, add diced green onions to the pan.
6. Cook, breaking up the pork with a spoon or spatula, for about 6–7 minutes, or until the pork is browned and cooked through. Once the pork is cooked, add all of the sauce ingredients: seasoning, soy sauce, and water.
7. Stir well to combine the pork and sauce. You can add a little dark soy for color if desired. Turn the heat down to low and let the mixture gently simmer.
8. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
9. Once boiling, add the dumpling wrappers one at a time, stirring constantly to prevent them from sticking together. Cook the wrappers for about 2 minutes, or until they are tender and cooked through (this can be done in batches).
10. Strain the cooked wrappers and add to the pan with the pork and sauce. Gently toss everything together taking care not to tear or break the wrappers.
11. Divide the dumpling noodle mixture into bowls. Serve immediately, with toppings and enjoy!
