Ingredients
Scale

- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 package (round) dumpling wrappers
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Oil for pan-frying
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, mix together ground pork, chopped cabbage, green onions, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.
- Assemble the dumplings: Place about one tablespoon of filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Moisten edges with water, fold in half, and pinch to seal tightly.
- Cook the dumplings: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add dumplings without overcrowding and pan-fry until golden brown (about 3 minutes).
- Steam the dumplings: Carefully add water to cover one-third of the dumpling height and cover immediately with a lid. Steam for about 5 minutes or until cooked through.
- Serve hot with soy sauce or chili oil for dipping.
