Sweet corn and savory pork dumplings offer a delightful flavor contrast. A protein-rich, family-friendly recipe with fresh, seasonal ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine ground pork, corn kernels, minced scallion, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, black pepper, and the egg until the filling is cohesive and slightly sticky.
Lay out dumpling wrappers on a dry surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrappers with a little water, then fold and seal carefully, pressing out any air to prevent splitting during cooking.
Bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer—not a rolling boil. Add dumplings in batches and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking; dumplings should float and turn slightly translucent.
Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon and allow them to rest for 1 minute before serving to help stabilize the texture.
