  • ⅓ cup (80 mL) finely sliced green onion
  • ¼ cup (50 mL) oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) sesame oil

Method

  1. In medium bowl, combine ground pork with carrot, green onion, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cumin, soy sauce, garlic and chili sauce.
  2. Arrange 10 wrappers on a clean work surface; lightly brush edges with water.
  3. Place a heaping teaspoon of filling in centre and fold in half. Join ends together and press to seal.
