Method
Making the Dough
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the water while mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Preparing the Filling

Mix the Filling Ingredients
In a bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped cabbage, chopped green onions, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Roll and Fill
After the dough has rested, divide it into small pieces (about 1-inch in size). Roll each piece into a circle (about 3 inches in diameter). Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
Cooking the Dumplings
- 4
Steam or Boil
You can either steam or boil the dumplings. To steam, place them in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper and steam for 10-12 minutes until cooked through. To boil, bring a pot of water to a boil, add the dumplings, and cook for 5-7 minutes until they float to the top.
