Ingredients (per serving):
- 6 dumpling wrappers
- 1/4 cup ground pork
- 1/4 cup chopped cabbage
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh dumpling wrappers for the best texture and flavor.
- To prevent the dumplings from sticking to each other, dust them with a little bit of cornstarch before cooking.
- If you don't have a steamer basket, you can use a colander or a plate set over a pot of boiling water instead.
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, mix together the ground pork, chopped cabbage, chopped scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
2. Place a spoonful of the pork filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper.
3. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and fold it in half, pressing the edges together to seal.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
5. Place the dumplings in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown.
6. Pour the water into the pan and cover with a lid.
7. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until the dumplings are cooked through and the water has evaporated.
8. Serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
