Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 cups finely chopped Napa cabbage
- 2 green onions finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 30-40 round dumpling wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Soy sauce or dipping sauce of your choice for serving
Instructions
-
Combine the ground pork, Napa cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Take one dumpling wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the pork filling in the center. Dip your finger in water and wet the edges of the wrapper.
-
Fold the dumpling in half and pinch the edges to seal, ensuring no air pockets. You can pleat the edges for a decorative touch if desired. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
-
Place the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer, leaving some space between them. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
-
Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 6-8 minutes, until the dumplings are cooked through and the water evaporates.
-
Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms of the dumplings are crispy and browned.
-
Transfer the crispy pork dumplings to a serving platter and repeat the cooking process with the remaining dumplings.
-
Serve the dumplings hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
