Ingredients

• 250 grams Ground pork
• 100 grams Cabbage
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 Green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
• 30 Round dumpling wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the cabbage and sprinkle it with a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture, then press out the liquid using a clean dish towel or cheesecloth.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Place a dumpling wrapper on a flat surface and put about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water, then fold it in half to create a half moon shape. Pleat the edges together to seal.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Arrange the dumplings in the skillet, flat-side down, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Carefully add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid to steam the dumplings. Reduce to medium heat and cook until the water has completely evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms once more.

Step 9

Transfer the dumplings to a serving plate and serve hot with soy sauce or a dipping sauce of your choice.
