Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Ground pork or chicken
- 100 grams Cabbage
- 1 medium, grated Carrot
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon, minced Ginger
- 2 stalks, finely chopped Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 25 pieces Dumpling wrappers
- as needed, for sealing wrappers Water
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (for dipping sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon, minced Ginger (for dipping sauce)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes
Instructions
Finely chop the cabbage and lightly sprinkle it with salt. Set it aside for 5 minutes. Then, use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork or chicken, cabbage, grated carrot, minced garlic, minced ginger, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Place a dumpling wrapper on a flat surface. Scoop about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of the wrapper.
Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper in half and press the edges together to seal. Pleat the edges if desired for a decorative look. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Arrange the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch each other.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add about 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Steam the dumplings for 5-7 minutes until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are tender. Remove the lid and let the remaining water evaporate.
In a small bowl, prepare the ginger dipping sauce by whisking together soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced ginger, honey, and chili flakes.
Serve the dumplings hot with the ginger dipping sauce on the side.
