Little pork dumplings

Thes yummy little dumplings were made at the Community Kitchens Group on 30th July. It was good to experience making these little guys. A comment made was, they could have been a bit more flavourful. We could maybe try adding some spices and stock powder next time. They were lots of fun to make. I think kids would like it too.
500g minced pork
2 green onions (spring onion), chopped finely
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
salt and pepper
1 raw egg beaten
2x 275g packet gow gee pastry
Dipping sauce
¼ cup (60ml) soy sauce
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 teaspoons brown sugar
Combine all of the ingredients, except the wonton wrappers, in a large bowl and mix well.
Place 1 level teaspoon of filling into the centre of each wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrappers with a little water and gather the edges together to enclose the filling and form a pouch.
Place the dumplings in a single layer on a tray lined with baking paper.
Bring a wide frypan of water to the boil. Drop the dumplings, in batches, into the water. Simmer the dumplings for about 3 minutes or until cooked through.
Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon, drain well and serve with the dipping sauce.
For the dipping sauce, combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
