Ingredients

  • 3 cups chopped cabbage leaves
  • Kosher salt sea salt flakes
  • ½ tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 2 scallions green onions/spring onions, roughly chopped
  • lb 150g ground pork
  • Pepper
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • ½ Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Dumpling wrappers
  • ½ Tbsp cornstarch cornflour, mixed with ¼ cup water
  • Soy sauce or Hoisin sauce for dipping

Instructions

  • Place the cabbage leaves into a food processor and finely chop. Salt lightly with kosher salt and let sit 10 minutes. Squeeze out water and set aside.
  • Place the ginger, onions, pork, pepper, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil into the food processor and pulse until finely chopped and combined.
  • Add the cabbage to the pork mixture and stir to mix together.
  • Place ¾ tablespoon of the filling into the center of each dumpling wrapper.
  • Gently fold over so that the wrapper forms a half-circle. Dip your finger into the cornstarch and water mixture and run along the open edge of the dumpling to seal. You could add fancy pinched edges if you prefer.
  • Fill a large pot about half-way with water and bring to a boil.
  • Carefully add dumplings to the boiling water and cook for about 6 minutes once the water starts to boil again.
  • Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon.
  • Serve hot with soy sauce or hoisin sauce for dipping.
