Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups finely chopped green cabbage
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (for cooking)
- 20 dumpling wrappers
- ¼ cup soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili oil (optional)
- 1 teaspoon grated garlic or ginger (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chopped cabbage in a bowl, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Squeeze out excess moisture thoroughly.
- Add garlic, ginger, green onions, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the cabbage. Mix until well combined.
- Place one dumpling wrapper on a flat surface. Add about 1 tablespoon of filling to the center.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold, and seal tightly. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
- Heat neutral oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Arrange dumplings flat-side down in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Carefully add ¼ cup water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid.
- Steam for 4–5 minutes until the filling is cooked through.
- Remove the lid and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the remaining water evaporates and the bottoms re-crisp.
- While the dumplings cook, whisk together all dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
- Serve dumplings hot with soy dipping sauce on the side.
