Ingredients

  • ½ lb ground pork
  • 12 count square wonton wrappers
  • ⅓ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp scallions, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix ground pork with soy sauce and scallions until just combined.

  2. 2

    Spoon 1 tsp filling into center of each wrapper. Fold in half, then bring corners together and pinch to seal.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~60 seconds.

  4. 4

    Place buns flat-side down in the skillet without moving them. Let cook until bottom turns golden brown, ~3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Pour broth around the buns. Cover skillet, reduce heat to medium, and steam until liquid evaporates and filling cooks through, ~4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Uncover, increase heat to medium-high, and cook 30 seconds more to re-crisp the bottom.
