To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Jiaozi:

- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
- 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package of jiaozi wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the Dipping Sauce:

- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chili oil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped scallions
To start, mix together the ground pork, cabbage, scallions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Take a jiaozi wrapper and place a tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and fold it in half, pressing the edges together to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and pork mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the jiaozi to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown. Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the jiaozi are cooked through and the water has evaporated.
To make the dipping sauce, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil, and scallions in a small bowl.
