Ingredients

• 300 grams Lean ground pork
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, low sodium
• 3 pieces Green onions, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 medium Carrot, finely grated
• 1 cup Cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 30 pieces Dumpling wrappers
• 1 bowl Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the lean ground pork, soy sauce, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, grated carrot, shredded cabbage, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 2

Prepare a clean workspace and set out the dumpling wrappers. Have a small bowl of water ready to help seal the dumplings.

Step 3

Take one dumpling wrapper and place it on your palm. Spoon about one teaspoon of the filling mixture into the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Dip your finger into the bowl of water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to encase the filling, forming a half-moon shape.

Step 5

Pinch the edges together, pressing firmly to seal. You can pleat the edges if desired for a more traditional look.

Step 6

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

Step 7

To cook the dumplings, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the dumplings in batches, ensuring they do not stick together, and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the dumplings float to the surface.

Step 8

Alternatively, for a pan-fried version, heat a non-stick frying pan with a small amount of oil over medium heat. Place dumplings in the pan and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, then add a small amount of water, cover, and steam for an additional 3 minutes.

Step 9

Serve the dumplings hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or chili oil.
