Pork and Cabbage Dumplings
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 cups finely chopped cabbage
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package round dumpling wrappers
- Water for sealing dumplings
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground pork, 2 cups of finely chopped cabbage, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger, 2 finely chopped green onions, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Place a small spoonful of the pork and cabbage filling in the center of a dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold the wrapper in half and press the edges together to seal, creating a half-moon shape. Continue until all the filling is used.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Carefully pour 1/2 cup of water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Steam the dumplings for 6-8 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.
- Remove the lid and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the bottoms of the dumplings are crispy again.
- Transfer the dumplings to a serving plate and serve with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
