Ingredients
- 2 cups, finely chopped cabbage

- 4 pieces, finely chopped shiitake mushrooms
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon, freshly grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions
Begin by preparing the dumpling filling. In a large bowl, combine finely chopped cabbage, grated carrot, crumbled tofu, and finely chopped shiitake mushrooms.
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped scallions, salt, and black pepper to the vegetable mixture. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients well.
Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper.
Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal. You can pleat the edges for added decoration and extra sealing. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
To cook the dumplings, choose your preferred method: steaming, boiling, or pan-frying.
For steaming: Arrange dumplings in a single layer on a parchment-lined steaming basket. Steam over boiling water for about 10 minutes, until the wrappers are translucent and cooked through.
For boiling: Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil. Add dumplings in batches and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.
For pan-frying: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Arrange dumplings in a single layer and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Add water to the skillet to cover the dumplings halfway, cover with a lid, and steam for an additional 5 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
Serve the dumplings hot, with your choice of dipping sauce. Enjoy!
