Ingredients
- 250 grams Lean Ground Pork
- 150 grams Napa Cabbage
- 2 stalks Green Onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 24 pieces Wonton Wrappers
- 0 for sealing dumplings Water
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the napa cabbage and place it in a large bowl. Sprinkle a small pinch of salt over it, mix well, and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Step 2
Mince the garlic and green onions, and grate the ginger. Set aside.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine the lean ground pork, minced garlic, ginger, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, the remaining salt, and pepper.
Step 4
After the cabbage has rested, squeeze out the excess liquid and add the cabbage to the pork mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 5
Take a wonton wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and fold it in half to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges tightly to seal. Optionally, you can pleat the edges for a decorative touch.
Step 6
Repeat the process with the remaining filling and wrappers.
Step 7
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with cooking oil. Arrange the dumplings in the pan, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Step 8
Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid. Let the dumplings steam until the water has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the dumplings are crispy on the bottom again.
Step 10
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
