Ingredients

  • 400 g Ground pork
  • 200 g Cabbage
  • 4 stalks Green onions
  • 1 tbsp Ginger
  • 30 ml Soy sauce
  • 50 pcs Dumpling wrappers

Instructions

  1. 1

    Salt cabbage, let sit 15 min, squeeze out water.

    💡 This prevents soggy dumplings.

  2. 2

    Mix pork, cabbage, onions, ginger, and soy sauce.

    💡 Stir in one direction for better texture.

  3. 3

    Place filling in wrapper, wet edges, fold and pleat.

    💡 8-10 pleats look professional.

  4. 4

    Pan-fry dumplings in oiled pan until bottoms golden.

    💡 The pan-fry creates signature bottom texture.

  5. 5

    Add water, cover, steam until water evaporates.

    💡 The steam cooks the filling.

  6. 6

    Adjust seasoning and serve hot.

    💡 Taste and adjust salt last.
