Description
Tender pan-fried and steamed dumplings filled with savory cabbage, carrot, scallions, garlic, and ginger. They are crispy on the bottom, soft on top, and perfect with a simple soy-vinegar dipping sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups green cabbage, finely chopped
- 1 medium carrot, finely grated
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 30 round dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup soy sauce mixed with 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chopped cabbage in a bowl with the salt and let it sit for 10 minutes. Squeeze out the excess moisture.
- Mix the cabbage with the grated carrot, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and black pepper until evenly combined.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edge with water, fold, and pleat to seal.
- Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Arrange half the dumplings in a single layer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottoms are golden.
- Pour in 1/4 cup water, cover immediately, and steam for 5 to 6 minutes until the wrappers are tender and the filling is hot.
- Uncover and let the remaining water evaporate so the bottoms crisp again. Repeat with the second batch using the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 cup water.
- Serve warm with the optional soy and rice vinegar dipping sauce.
Notes
- Keep the wrappers covered with a lightly damp towel while assembling so they do not dry out.
- Do not overfill the wrappers or they may split while cooking.
- Uncooked dumplings can be frozen on a tray, then stored in a freezer-safe bag for later.
- Reheat cooked dumplings in a skillet with a splash of water to restore their crisp bottoms and soft tops.
