Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 1 cup Napa cabbage
- 3 pieces Green onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 24 pieces Dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Finely chop the napa cabbage and green onions. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, chopped cabbage, green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, fish sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the filling thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Prepare a small bowl of water as you begin to fill the dumplings.
Take a dumpling wrapper and place it in the palm of your hand. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in the water and lightly moisten the edge of the wrapper.
Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal, ensuring no air is trapped inside.
Continue with the remaining wrappers and filling until all dumplings are made.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer, flat side down. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet, cover immediately, and reduce the heat to medium. Let the dumplings steam until the water evaporates, about 5 minutes.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the bottoms are crisp again.
Repeat the process with remaining dumplings, adding more oil and water as needed.
Serve hot, with your choice of dipping sauce.
