Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the ground pork and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through.
  2. Take your mini tortillas and gently press a spoonful of the warm, juicy pork filling into the center of each. Shape the tacos by folding the sides around the filling.
  3. Slice the cucumbers thinly and place them in a small bowl. Pour vinegar over the cucumber slices and let them soak for at least 15 minutes.
  4. In a clean skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium-high heat. Carefully place the assembled tacos in the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Drizzle the tacos with your dumpling dipping sauce and top with the quick-pickled cucumber slices. Serve immediately.
