Ingredients

• 250 grams ground pork
• 100 grams green cabbage
• 2 pieces green onions
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
• 30 pieces wonton wrappers
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the green cabbage and green onions. Set them aside.

Step 2

Mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped cabbage, green onions, minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 4

Place one wonton wrapper in your hand and spoon about a teaspoon of the pork mixture into the center.

Step 5

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets.

Step 6

Repeat the filling and sealing process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until hot.

Step 8

Carefully add the dumplings in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the dumplings until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Add 2 tablespoons of water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for an additional 3-4 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the lid and allow any remaining water to evaporate. Cook for another 1 minute to achieve a crispy bottom.

Step 11

Carefully remove the dumplings from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 12

Serve the fried dumplings immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
