Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground pork
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp. fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 1 ½ cups napa cabbage finely chopped
  • 2 green onions green and white parts
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp. sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp. chili paste
  • 1 egg

Wrappers:

  • 1 package square wonton wrappers

Instructions

  • Peel and grate your ginger and mince garlic. Chop up green onions and cabbage.
  • In a medium or large mixing bowl, add ground pork, garlic, ginger, green onions, cabbage, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili paste, and one egg and mix until combined.
  • Take a wonton wrapper in one palm, and dip the index finger of the other hand into a cup of water and wet the outline of the wrapper.
  • Place a spoonful of filling in the center of the wrapper.
  • Connect both diagonal corners with each other and then seal the rest of the edges. You can leave them triangular or tuck the corners in.
  • When you are ready to cook the dumplings, add one inch of cold water to a large pot and bring to a boil. Place extra cabbage leaves on either a metal or bamboo steamer basket so that the dumplings won't stick.
  • Steam, covered, for 10-15 minutes, until wonton wrappers are translucent and filling is cooked through. Serve in broth or with soy sauce.
