Hawaiian Pork Hash blends Chinese dim sum-style ground pork with local Hawaiian seasonings for a fast, flavorful dish. It works well as an appetizer or a light meal and takes well under 30 minutes to pull together. The combination of savory pork and island-influenced flavors makes it a versatile crowd-pleaser.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, chopped water chestnuts, onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add about one tablespoon of the pork mixture to the center of the wrapper.
Fold the wrapper around the filling, pinching the edges to seal and form a small, cup-like shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Place the dumplings in a steamer basket, ensuring they do not touch. Steam over boiling water for about 10 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.
Notes
For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes to the pork mixture.
If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute ground pork with finely chopped mushrooms and a handful of julienned carrots.
