Make your own Chinese pork dumplings featuring ground pork and fresh cabbage! These dumplings are easy to make, perfectly tender, and feature a crispy bottoms!
In a large bowl, add pork, ginger, garlic, green onion, soy sauce, 1 ½ tbsp sesame oil, egg and cabbage. Stir until pork filling is well combined.
Fill a small bowl with water. Take 1½ tsp of filling into each dumpling wrapper. Dip your finger in a small bowl of water wet the edges of the wrapper. Then fold edges over to form a half-circle. Slightly pinch the edges until dumplings are well-sealed (see videos below for reference). Alternatively, you can also use these handy dumpling makers! Place dumpling on a lightly floured large baking pan. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
Heat 1 tbsp of sesame oil into a large pan on medium heat. Depending on the size of your pan, add just enough dumplings to cover the surface without overcrowding. Make sure the flat side of the dumpling is facing down. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom of the dumpling turns golden brown.
Very carefully, pour in 1/4 cup of water into the pan to steam. Keep in mind that the oil may spatter, so cover the pan with a lid immediately after pouring in water. Let steam for 3 minutes, or until water is fully absorbed.
Remove the lid, and cook for 15-30 additional seconds, until the bottom of the dumplings become crispy. Repeat with the remaining dumplings. Serve immediately. ENJOY!
