Ingredients

• 250 grams Ground pork
• 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 100 grams Cabbage (finely shredded)
• 25 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 1 serving Cornstarch slurry (1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 teaspoon water)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (for dipping sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (for dipping sauce)
• 1 teaspoon Chili oil (for dipping sauce, optional)
• 1 teaspoon Sugar (for dipping sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the filling by combining ground pork, green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until well-combined.

Step 2

Prepare the dumplings by laying a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface. Place 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.

Step 3

Wet the edges of the wrapper with the cornstarch slurry using your finger or a small brush.

Step 4

Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape and pinch the edges tightly to seal. You can make pleats for a decorative touch if desired.

Step 5

Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers until all dumplings are prepared.

Step 6

Line a bamboo steamer (or regular steamer) with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place the dumplings inside the steamer, ensuring they are not touching each other.

Step 8

Fill a wok or large saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Place the steamer over the boiling water and steam the dumplings for 10-12 minutes until the filling is fully cooked.

Step 9

While the dumplings are steaming, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil (optional), and sugar in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 10

Once the dumplings are cooked, serve them hot alongside the dipping sauce. Enjoy!
