Indulge in the delicate flavors of these gluten-free Chinese steamed dumplings.

Ingredients:

1 package gluten-free dumpling wrappers
1/2 pound ground pork or chicken
1/4 cup finely chopped Napa cabbage
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Water, for sealing the dumplings
Optional: sesame oil for brushing

Instructions:

In a bowl, combine ground pork or chicken, finely chopped Napa cabbage, finely chopped green onions, gluten-free soy sauce or tamari, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix the filling ingredients well.

Lay out a gluten-free dumpling wrapper on a clean surface.

Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of the dumpling wrapper.

Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the dumpling wrapper.

Fold the dumpling wrapper in half, creating a half-moon shape, and press the edges to seal tightly.

Pleat and fold the edges of the dumpling to create a decorative pattern. Repeat the process for the remaining dumpling wrappers and filling.

Arrange the dumplings on a steamer tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Steam the dumplings over boiling water for about 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.

Optional: Just before the dumplings are done, you can brush them lightly with sesame oil for extra flavor and shine.

Carefully remove the steamed dumplings from the steamer and serve them hot.

Serve the gluten-free Chinese steamed dumplings with your favorite dipping sauce, such as gluten-free soy sauce with a splash of rice vinegar and a touch of grated ginger.

Enjoy the delicate and delightful flavors of these gluten-free Chinese steamed dumplings, perfect as an appetizer or a light and satisfying meal.
