Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground pork
• 12 large leaves Green cabbage leaves
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cabbage leaves. Boil a large pot of water and blanch the cabbage leaves for about 2 minutes until they are soft and pliable. Remove from water and set them aside to cool.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Lay a cabbage leaf flat on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the pork mixture in the center of the leaf.

Step 4

Fold the sides of the cabbage leaf over the filling and then roll it up tightly to form a small packet. Repeat the process with the remaining pork mixture and cabbage leaves.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the dumplings, seam side down, and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 6

Add the chicken broth to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cover the pan with a lid. Let the dumplings steam for about 8-10 minutes until the pork filling is fully cooked and the cabbage is tender.

Step 7

Remove the lid and allow any remaining liquid to evaporate, giving the dumplings a nice, crisp bottom.

Step 8

Transfer the dumplings to a serving plate and enjoy them while hot. Optionally, pair them with a low-carb dipping sauce of your choice.
