Chinese · Main course · 60 min total

These classic steamed dumplings feature a savory pork and cabbage filling wrapped in a tender dough, perfect as an appetizer or main course.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup water, plus more as needed
• 1/2 lb ground pork
• 1 cup finely chopped napa cabbage
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Make the dough: In a bowl, mix flour and water until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling: Squeeze excess moisture from cabbage. In a bowl, combine pork, cabbage, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, white pepper, and salt. Mix well.
3. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 3-inch circle.
4. Place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold in half and pleat the edges to seal.
5. Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves. Arrange dumplings in a single layer, leaving space between them.
6. Steam over boiling water for 12-15 minutes, until filling is cooked through. Serve hot with dipping sauce.

Tips

• To prevent sticking, lightly oil the steamer basket or use cabbage leaves.
• Serve with a dipping sauce of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil.
• Leftover dumplings can be refrigerated and pan-fried the next day.
