Ingredients
Sauce
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp white sesame seeds, roasted
- 1 tsp hot sauce
Filling:
- 1 lb ground pork
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup green cabbage, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 3 tbsp ginger, fresh, minced
Assembly
- dumpling wrappers
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil , for frying
- ¼ cup water, add more for brushing and as needed
- 1 cornstarch , for dusting
To serve:
- green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the filling then mix until evenly incorporated.
-
Set aside covered in a chilled area for at least an hour to allow the proteins to rest and firm up.
-
While waiting, combine all the ingredients for the sauce. Mix until evenly incorporated and set aside.
-
Dust your work area with cornstarch, then lay out the wrappers. Place roughly 1 tablespoon of mixture onto each dumpling wrapper.
-
Spread a little water on the edges of the wrapper with your index finger, then crimp the edges to form the dumpling shape.
-
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over high heat. Place your dumplings flat side down (do not overcrowd the skillet), and sear until golden brown.
-
Add roughly ¼ cup of water, cover, and allow to “steam” for roughly 3 minutes.
-
Uncover, then reduce heat to medium. Continue simmering for roughly 5 minutes until the water has completely evaporated and the flat sides turn crispy.
-
Transfer your dumplings onto a plate, with the golden flat sides up. Repeat until you have cooked all your dumplings this way.
-
Serve with 3 tablespoons of dipping sauce and garnish with ¼ teaspoon green onions per serving.
