Chives and Pork Dumplings

Chives and Pork Dumplings

Overview

Leeks have a water content of up to 85% and low calories. They are an excellent source of iron, potassium and vitamin A, and a general source of vitamin C. Leeks contain special ingredients such as volatile essential oils and sulfides, which emit a unique spicy smell, which helps to regulate liver qi, increase appetite, and enhance digestive function. Leeks in spring are the most delicious. They are good for stir-frying, making soups and stuffings. This is the first dumpling I made when the leeks are very tender. I am posting them today to share with my friends. . . . .
