Ingredients

• 250 grams Ground pork (or substitute with ground chicken or tofu)
• 1 cup Napa cabbage, finely chopped
• 1 medium Carrot, finely grated
• 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 30 pieces Dumpling wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated (for sauce)
• 1 teaspoon Water
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork (or alternative protein), napa cabbage, grated carrot, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.

Step 2

Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface and spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.

Step 3

Dip your finger in a small bowl of water and wet the edges of the dumpling wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half, creating a half-moon shape, and pleat the edges to seal securely.

Step 4

Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling, placing the assembled dumplings on a parchment-lined tray to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Prepare a steamer by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking. Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and place the steamer basket on top.

Step 6

Steam the dumplings in batches for 8-10 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are tender.

Step 7

While the dumplings are steaming, prepare the ginger hoisin sauce. In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and water. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

To thicken the sauce, mix the cornstarch with a teaspoon of water to create a slurry. Heat the sauce mixture in a small saucepan over low heat, then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

Step 9

Serve the steamed dumplings hot with the ginger hoisin sauce on the side for dipping.
