Hawaiian Pork Hash is a delicious and savory dim sum-style dumpling, popular in Hawaii and often enjoyed as a snack or appetizer. Made with a flavorful filling of ground pork, shrimp, and aromatic seasonings, these dumplings are wrapped in wonton skins and steamed to perfection. The tender pork and shrimp mixture, infused with soy sauce, ginger, and green onions, creates a juicy, savory bite that’s both satisfying and full of umami. Often served with soy sauce or a dipping sauce, Hawaiian Pork Hash is a perfect blend of island flavors with Chinese influence, offering a tasty, bite-sized treat that’s easy to prepare and enjoy.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- Soy sauce or dipping sauce, for serving
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, green onions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and the beaten egg. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Assemble the Pork Hash:
- Place a small spoonful (about 1 tablespoon) of the pork mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Gather the edges of the wrapper around the filling, leaving the top open, and gently press to form a cup shape.
- Steam the Dumplings:
- Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Arrange the pork hash dumplings in the steamer, leaving a little space between each one. Steam over boiling water for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked and the dumplings are firm to the touch.
- Serve:
- Remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Hawaiian Pork Hash is a flavorful, bite-sized treat that’s perfect for dim sum or as an appetizer. The tender pork and shrimp filling, wrapped in delicate wonton skins, makes this a dish that’s both easy to prepare and a hit at any gathering.
