In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of ground pork, 1 cup of finely chopped cabbage, 0.5 cup of chopped green onions, 2 tsp of minced garlic, 2 tbs of soy sauce, 1 tbs of sesame oil, 0.5 tsp of salt, and 0.25 tsp of black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Fill the Dumplings
Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
Cooking

Steam the Dumplings
Prepare a steamer, either bamboo or electric, and line it with parchment paper. Place the dumplings in the steamer, making sure they do not touch each other. Steam for about 15-20 minutes until the filling is cooked through.
