How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine the pork, onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper, mixing until all flavors are well incorporated. Let the mixture rest to allow the flavors to meld.
- Dip each dim sum wrapper in water for a few seconds to soften. Place a tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center of each wrapper.
- Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a small sandwich, pressing the edges to seal them tightly.
- Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the dim sum in batches until they are golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Look for a rich golden hue as a visual cue.
- Serve the dim sum hot, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
