Ingredients
- 250 grams ground pork
- 100 grams green cabbage
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 30 dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the green cabbage and green onions. Grate the ginger.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped cabbage, green onions, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, sugar, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Step 3
Take one dumpling wrapper and place it flat on your hand. Add approximately 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper.
Step 4
Moisten the edge of the wrapper with water, fold it in half, and press the edges together to seal. Pleat the edges if desired. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 5
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Place the dumplings in the pan, seam side up, in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Step 7
Add 1/4 cup of water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid to steam the dumplings. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for another 5 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the lid and let the remaining water evaporate. Continue cooking until the bottoms are crispy and brown, about 2 more minutes.
Step 9
Transfer the dumplings to a serving plate. Repeat the process with the remaining dumplings, adding more oil as needed.
Step 10
Serve hot with soy sauce or your preferred dipping sauce.
