These dumplings are a delightful combination of savory pork and fresh cabbage, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
Finely chop the cabbage and green onions.
Use a sharp knife to achieve finely chopped vegetables for a smoother filling.
Grate the ginger and mince the garlic.
Fresh ginger and garlic provide the best flavor for the filling.
Combine the pork, cabbage, green onions, ginger, garlic, salt, pepper, and soy sauce in a bowl. Mix well.
Mix the filling by hand to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of a dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold, and seal by pleating.
Ensure the dumplings are sealed tightly to prevent leakage during cooking.
Heat a non-stick pan with a little oil. Arrange the dumplings in the pan and cook until the bottoms are golden brown.
Do not overcrowd the pan to allow even browning.
Add water to the pan, cover, and steam the dumplings until the water evaporates.
Use a lid that fits snugly to trap the steam effectively.
Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil to make the dipping sauce.
Adjust the ratio of soy sauce to vinegar to suit your taste.
Serve the dumplings hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for added presentation.
