Ingredients
For the filling
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 cups napa cabbage, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch ginger, grated
- 2 whole green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
For assembling and cooking
- 1 package dumpling wrappers

Method
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped napa cabbage, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until fully combined.
- Take a dumpling wrapper and place about a teaspoon of filling in the center. Moisten the edges with water and fold it over to create a half-moon shape, pressing to seal.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Place the dumplings in the pan and fry them until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Add a few tablespoons of water to the pan and cover immediately to steam the dumplings for about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the lid and cook for another minute to let the water evaporate and crisp up the dumplings.
- Serve hot with your favorite dumpling sauce.
