Yield

¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sweet and tangy rice vinegar we used this one You can also use regular rice vinegar.
1 green onion minced

Begin by adding the pork, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and oyster sauce to a large bowl and combine all of the ingredients with a wooden spoon or your hands.
Assemble the dumplings. Set a small bowl of water next to your assembling station. Place 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture into the middle of the dumpling wrapper. Use your finger to wet half of the edge of the dumpling wrapper. Fold the dumpling in half and pinch the edges tightly together. Be sure the pork mixture can not escape the wrapper. Repeat until all the wrappers and pork mixture have been used.
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Place 6-10 dumplings into the boiling water at a time. Give the dumplings a gentle stir so they do not stick together. Be sure not to overcrowd the pot.
When the dumplings float to the top of the pot allow the dumplings to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon.* Set the cooked dumplings aside. Repeat this step until all of the dumplings are cooked. Set aside.
Make the dipping sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced green onion.
Next, heat a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add oil to the pan. Be sure the oil is coating the bottom of the skillet.
When the oil is fragrant, add a layer of dumplings to the skillet and fry for 1-2 minutes or until brown. Flip the dumplings and fry the other side for another minute. Remove when both sides are browned.
Enjoy the fried dumplings with the dipping sauce.
