Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 cups finely chopped napa cabbage
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon chili oil
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 24 round dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 pound of ground pork, 2 cups of finely chopped napa cabbage, 1/4 cup of chopped green onions, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of chili oil, 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Place a small spoonful of the pork mixture in the center of a dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold the dumpling in half, and press the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and pork mixture.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Carefully pour 1/4 cup of water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Steam the dumplings for 5-6 minutes, until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.
- Remove the lid and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, until the water has evaporated and the bottoms of the dumplings are crispy.
- Transfer the dumplings to a serving platter and serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
